@crazytoast, I totally agree, I was going to get on it after this pregnancy I'm glad I'm stumbled upon this article and some insight from you guy's experiences

@preggobeauty3, I really wish they did more counseling on the pros and cons of the different birth control methods, instead it's like trying on shoes lol 😜

@crazytoast, that's terrible! I'm glad you got off it !

I was on the pill at first it totally regulated my cycle I even lost weight but then it quit working and messed my cycle up so I went on depo. Worst decision ever. I gained like eighty pounds in no time and I wasn't doing anything differently. The emotional ups and downs were terrible. I was in the grocery store and just started bawling because I didn't know what to buy. Probably almost worse than the pregnancy emotions. I haven't been able to lose back down to what I was at before I started it. I really regret it :-/

yeah I mean it wasn't a lot but it was a big difference for me to notice idk if it was because of the shot but it did start when I started the shot. I was scared of brushing my hair ._.

it was all in that year I was on it

@kat13, you lost hair? omg I'm sorry that happened to you

@princess_intheoven16, wow !! how long did it take before you gained that much? I'm shocked

@tahtahme, wow thank you for your input! and sponge ?

I had the shot .o. I got really emotional gained weight and was loosing hair like crazy

I was 110 got up to 160 but after I got of it I dropped back down to 120 in no time thank god

@princess_intheoven16, aww :( how much ?

safest is to know your cycle and use diaphragm or condom or sponge or something during fertile week, for real 😕 All hormonal meds have something up. And they do NOT go in depth like that at the clinic....they just push them on you.

I was on it for a year and I gained weight like crazy 😭

@maybaby2016, what a nightmare
