abnormal uterine bleeding
"After the birth of our son, my husband and I decided that the shot would be our best option. Didn't have to take a pill every day and no periods.
So on July 18 2014 I had my first shot. I began soaking through 12 to 28 tampons daily. I was hospitalized for that, and once again for a fainting episode due to anemia.
I never went back for my second shot. It is now just over a year later. I am still bleeding. My husband and I haven't had sex for a year because of the intensity of the pain and bleeding.
I have tried everything from soy isoflavones, to ibuprofen and iron, to estrogen therapy, to other forms of birth control.
They say I have to let it wear off, but it's so bad that I have trouble caring for my child because of fatigue."
