Depo-Provera ("The Shot")

 


kiki806619

I started getting the depo shot when I was 14 all the way up until I was 19. I loved it, I never had any periods and I didnt even gain weight. I am 23 now and have been off the shot for 4 years now I have gained weight since Ive been off of it and my hair falls out so much now! IM not going bald or anything but i do loose alot of hair. I have really bad cramps during my period now when i never use to. Sometimes i bleed on and off for about a month I have been trying to get pregnant now for about 3 years unsuccessfully. I am so scared I will not be able to have a baby. My sister was on the shot for about 5 years also and she hasnt got pregnant yet either! I would recommend for women to try other methods of birth control!

will you sign my petition to get the shot off the market? it can cause serious health problems and until these health problems can be effectively and hastily treated i dont believe it should be available for use. i am looking for 20000 signatures and could use all the help i can get. so i would greatly appreciate it if you could help. thanx so much.
