Depo-Provera
birth control
"I've been on the shot for about 11 months and so far I love it!  It's much easier than taking a pill every day and I didn't like the idea of Nuvaring or an IUD.  I was practically bed-ridden by pain during that time of the month and now I barely notice a thing.  When I first started with the shots I still had my period but it was irregular, lighter, and less painful.  Now I've reached a point where I might have light spotting once during a shot cycle.  Pills sent me into a temporary depression and lowered my libido. I haven't noticed either with the shot.  I will have a bone density test done, but otherwise I love the Depo shot!"
