Birth control....?

Question

I heard about some shot given for birth control... With less side effects aparts from pills... Does any one had these sort of shots?

Answer

I recently stopped getting the shot but in my opinion I liked it . I only stopped cause it was a pain to remember to get it every 3 months & only reason I tried was cause the pill was too strong for me & I had really bad side affects &  I have a hard time gaining weight but this definitely didn't make me gain ANY weight which was disappointing but I think you should try it , everyone is different & if in 3 months you decide you don't like it then you could just tell your doctor but get on something else cause after not getting the shot , you will get pregnant if you have unprotected sex

Answer

The shot can have more adverse side effects, and usually does than all other birth control.

It directly causes weight gain, can cause bone density loss which can lead to osteoporosis.

Imo, I'd stay far away from the shot. Anything is better.
