Birth Control shot

Cierra
I've been on the birth control shot for 11months now and I've had 3 shots so far but I've been bleeding for like three mints straight...ill get the shot every 3months on time and I still bleed every time the entire month, is this healthy? I was thinking about switching birth control methods like the patch, what y'all think on this method also....next time I go back...I hate bleeding this long and my fiancé hates it also...he wants me to get off of it immediately so if y'all can give me some advice I would really appreciate it....thank you

Everyone reacts different but I have heard with the shot many woman bleed more than they don't. If it's interfering with you enjoying your life id switch. My friend got on the implant and she had the same problem. I started the pill and I never had any extra bleeding and still got my periods like normal. Again everyone reacts different but I'd switch if you're unhappy.

The dr can also give you a pill to regulate the period while on the shot

Thank you I'll have to try that but my dr always told my momma don't force me I have a shunt that drains fluid off my brain so that's two tubes down in my abdomen so idk if that's why I'm scared to swallow them or what but I've been this way for some time now

The pills are literally so small it's hard NOT to swallow them. I used to be afraid to swallow pills but I learned that if you put it as far as you can at the back of your tongue and put a bunch of water in your mouth, loosen up stay calm and swallow all the water in one big gulp.. That helps!
