birth control
"I'm writing this review to offer some hope- when I first got the shot, I read all these reviews and it freaked me out. Luckily I had none of the mood swing or depression side effects, but definitely still got the cramping and bleeding. After my first shot, I didn't bleed at all for about 2 weeks, until my regular cycle was due. Started with spotting and then bled regularly for the next 10 weeks. I read some other reviews from people saying they stopped bleeding after the second shot and, lo and behold, one week after my second shot and I stopped bleeding completely. I know I felt like I was going to bleed forever so hopefully this'll offer some hope to newcomers of the shot. Especially when they say something like 70% of women stop immediately"
