I went on the Depo shot, only got it twice and it has completely wrecked my body for the last year and three months. I don’t care how nice the positive things are about the depo but I would never recommend someone not even my worst enemy to get the depo. I gained 69 lbs in 6 months. NO LIE. Now I'm trying to get my body back.

My reasons for wanting to start this AND STICK TO IT is #1 When I get married to my boyfriend I want to look the way I did when I met him. We like to joke that we got "comfortable." A nice little white lie I guess. The #2 reason is I want to get pregnant, but I want to be healthy before I ever get pregnant. Which ties into my third reason. The #3 reason is child birth. I have no kids, I'm not pregnant but I want a natural child birth at home or in a birthing center. I am mortified of ending up like my mom with 4 mis-carriages and 2 c-sections.
