birth control
"I was on the Depo for two years and was awesome for the first 6 months. I seriously thought I was in heaven. I still had periods, but had absolutely no cramps at all, which is saying a lot since I had horrible pains before, and the bleeding was light. I started the Depo because I couldn't remember the pill. Things were going well and then I started a period that lasted for a year. I would have stayed on the Depo regardless of the bleeding, but it was the horrible mood swings that made me stop using it. I was seriously a miserable person. Though this was my experience it could be different for others. My body never reacts the way it should. Really the only way to know is to try it yourself."
