Medroxyprogesterone
birth control
"I'm 18. I've been on the depo shot for 2 and a half months, I'm due for my next one in a couple weeks and I really don't want it. The first month was fine, no side effects and got my period like normal it only lasted me 5 days but the 2nd month was so bad. Terrible back aches, cramps, mood swings, when I first started out I had depression but its worse now to the point where I have suicidal thoughts, the worst pain in my bones that wouldn't let me do simple things like bend over to pick something up, get out of bed, or pick up my nephew and I got my period 2 weeks ago, at the end of September and I still have it now in the beginning of October as heavy as ever. I'm scared about how long its gonna last."
