It's been awhile since I've done an update. Very busy with school and finals and papers and holidays. I'm still recovering and it isn't even over yet. Yikes!
It's been 3 months now and no problems! I did spot for one day on the 21st but it was minimal. Like I've said before, random spotting I can handle, excessive periods, I cannot.
I'm still paranoid about the hair loss. There really isn't any indication that I am losing hair but I don't want to wake up one day and realize that 50% of my hair is gone! Change is so gradual that you don't really realize it until you just do. kind of like gaining or losing weight.
That is all I have to report. Tomorrow I will call for my 3 month check up and see how that goes!
thank you so much for writing this! i've recently been looking through reviews because i'm running out of options for birth control methods.
ReplyDeletei don't like the patch because it could fall off. i don't like the depo shot because it would force me to go into the office and get a shot every 3 months, and i can't remember to take the pill for the life of me! i want to try the implanon, but i'm scared of the reported side effects. =[
Hey
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you found it! I deliberated for a long time too, but I had to just bite the bullet because there is no way to know how your body is going to deal. Just don't let those scary reviews get you down. After talking with the doctor, I felt a lot better.
Just an update: It has been 2 months since I had the Depo Shot, I have not had a period since I had the shot, no spotting either. It is due to wear out at 100 days, so that puts it at about January 30. So far it has been good, no side effects, just in case anybody reads your blog, I would recommend it.
