Please read if you’re thinking about birth control. Please do your self a favor and don’t get the depo shot even if you have had it before. I dot the depo shot after my first born and didn’t have a single problem but I gained a little weight. I switched to the implant in your arm and after about 2 year I was in a lot of pain and rushed to the hospital where I had to have emergency surgery to get it removed because it moved and broke in my arm. Well I recently did the depo again and was bleeding so bad for almost a month straight . I called my drs office and they assured me that it was normal, then I started getting huge blood clots and they still said it was fine. Today I went in for a check up on my lupus and got a blood panel done. And I got a call I had severe iron deficiency anemia so I had to get an iron transfusion. They asked me if anything had changed in the last few month and I told them about my birth control and how I was bleeding. They looked at each other and called my drs office that gave me it and pretty much yelled at them about how they neglect my medical problems. They said that in someone that does not have lupus and has these symptoms it’s dangerous but with someone that has lupus and a heart problem It was extremely dangerous. Thank god for them or my kids would be growing up without a mother. I just finished my last round of meds and am finally back to myself. Any longer I wouldn’t be here I almost didn’t go to the drs because I was so tired but thankfully I did
