birth control
"I loved Depo. I used the generic from age16-21. My insurance stopped covering the shot. I miss it!

On my first shot of depo, my period got shorter and lighter each month, and on my second shot, I don't think I had a period. I know by the third shot, I trusted depo.

I threw away my emergency period travel purse before the end of the first year and never had a single drop of period for 5 years. Miracle.

No condoms, no pregnancy. 

It helped my acne.

My negative side effects were it changed my personality. I felt less social, lower libido (still functioned well), and some doctors tried to diagnose me with depression. I experienced sleep paralysis once every 6 months. 

Those negatives don't outweigh the positives for me!"
