For Birth Control "I had the depo injection after my youngest daughter was born - she is now 25 - I have not had a period since - not gained weight - best thing I ever did - only thing now is I don’t know if I have been through menopause as I am now 49 - I asked if it was okay to not have any period or spotting but docs do not really have an answer - can only have it until I’m 50"

For Birth Control "I loved it. I was on it a little over 2 years and have just stopped at the suggestion of the doctor due to the bone loss. I am struggling to find another birth control that could ever be as good for me personally as this one. I didn't have a period unless I was in my window for another shot (every 3 months). There were times where there was light spotting, but nothing bothersome. No cramps, mood swings, and no weight gain that I can tie to it. I hope I can find another that works so well with my body."

"I took this crappy depo-subQ provera 104 after I miscarried my son in 2004. They gave me the Depo in February 2004 and I didn't stop bleeding until September! Every time I thought it was going away.....BOOM I'm bleeding heavy all over again to the point that my iron became low it was way too much bleeding. 7 months SMH and I see it hasn't changed years later"
