Now, when I talk about birth control, I'm not talking about condoms or such, I'm talking about the birth control you get from the doctor. If that's the pill, shot, etc.
I have a question myself about what I am on. I'm 17 years old. I've been on Depo Provera (The shot) for 3 months now. It's really messed me up. It skipped my period in November, gave me two periods in December (Each being 9 days long instead of the normal 4-5) I've been a mental wreck with my emotions. Plus, the shot was given to me in my stomach. Gah. I'm a thin person with a bit of muscle in my stomach, so it hurt alot, but now I've noticed a little bumb under my skin where the shot was given three months ago! Also, when I'm not on my period, and I have sex, when we are finished, there is usually blood on him from me. If you or someone you know has been on Depo Provera or any other form of the shot, and can help me out on understanding why this has happened, please help. If you have questions about any other form of birth control, feel free to ask. |

My boyfriend has become quite familiar with me being angry for no reason. He handles it extremely well. Be sure to tell your boyfriend that it's your birth control and it's not that you're just being a bitch. If you haven't yet.
Again, don't worry about it too much, if this is your first time getting the shot, these symptoms are very normal. Hope things go well with your next one. |
