Medroxyprogesterone
"I started the shot August of 2014 and I'm still currently on it. My Dr. told me that for the first month I would bleed irregularly, which didn't happen. For maybe about a week I had very little bleeding to hardly any at all with my first shot. I had gained about 10 pounds since I've been on it. It has helped cleared my skin. The shot as COMPLETELY stopped my period. Which is quite amazing. The only reason why I'm not giving the shot a 10 is because of the weight gain. Because of it, it made it hard to loose weight and keep it off. I don't know if the shot could have caused this but I did experience insomnia,excessive oily skin, and out of control heartburn."
