Birth control - depo shot

Hi IM's,
I'm curious as to how other women have found using the depo shot.
I understand that everyone reacts differently to contraception, but I'd love to get as much information as possible beforehand, so would love to hear personal experiences with it.
Thanks!

The only problem I had with the depo was I bled every single day from it. I ended up borderline anemic and the doc ended up telling me to take the pill aswell to stop the bleeding which kind of defeated the purpose of it.

I had 2 side affects from it. I didnt bleed at all. No monthly periods nothing but i put on a bit of weight. And nothing i did including being in a physically active and demanding job would help lose it. But i want over weight just chubby. It was just one of those things i took the good with the bad
