For Endometriosis "I have been having the depo injection as I have endometriosis. It has worked wonders for me. After the first two injections, I was spotting a lot, but after the third, it stopped my periods completely, which were so heavy and painful. The only downsides are when I first get the injection, I am really grumpy for the first few weeks. My sex drive is nowhere near as high as it used to be, and I have gained weight, which the doctors tell you will only happen if you eat more. I find this not to be true, I have been exercising more than I ever have and eat so healthy all of the time. No matter what I am doing, I can’t seem to lose the weight."

For Birth Control "Never use this shot, it makes your discharge thick and white after it wears off. You don't have a period for 2 years, and it throws off the pH, causing BV and frequent yeast infections. Also, get a lot of headaches and low sex drive."

For Birth Control "Worst decision I ever made! I gained weight and bloated so bad even when I didn’t eat I bloated! I stopped taking it, and I am still trying hard to lose the weight. I have always been petite, but now I look pregnant because I am so bloated! I had no period, which was nice, but had no sex drive. It works for my friend, but for me, I hated it!!!"

For Birth Control "Depo is a great contraceptive, but side effects included weight gain for me, irritability, moodiness, and loss in sex drive."
