The Depo Shot
Have any of you used the shot for birth control? I have had a tubal ligation, so no need for birthcontrol, but I have highly cystic ovaries and an OB specialist I saw today recommended the shot. I get crazy migraines on the pill, so that's out, and she said this is pretty much the only option that will essentially shut down my ovaries and relieve the pain.
She also pretty bluntly told me I would need to exercise more and eat a lot less as the shot makes most people gain weight. I'm very very scared of gaining, since I'm already about 8lbs above what my normal has been my whole life. I've always been tiny and this little bit of extra flab is making me feel self concious enough. I don't want any more!
