abnormal uterine bleeding
"Horrible form of birth control. With all of these negative side affects I do not understand how it is still on the market and why doctors don't warn their patients of this. I got the "ya it may cause irregular bleeding" and I figured a bit of spotting but NO!! it is ALL THE TIME. I got  the shot for the first time in Dec 2014, got the spotting and continued on for a second round hoping it would subside, but quite the opposite...it got worse! I was bleeding for three months straight. I ended the shots but decided to give it another go in sept 2015, with the same results if not worse. I didn't go back for the second round and it is now March 2016, and I am STILL BLEEDING....6 months later. This is the worst form of birth control ever"
