Well here it goes...I took it once, and had my period for 7 months and those 7 months were hell, i stayed in bed, had to quit working, and well lets just say never again. And the weight gain was something else..I was drinking slim fast every day trying to maintain a weight but still gained 42lbs. There is sooo much information and true stories about the girls that have taken this online, I would seriously advice reading and getting lots of information on it. I did but it was too late. I heard about it and thought WOW one shot every three months great! I had no idea what i was in for. That is just my experience with it, my sister takes it and has no problems at all. We are all different. I don't believe your dr. knows if it's good for you or not, my dr said i was perfect for the needle, boy was he wrong. I also know once you've been on it, it takes about a year to leave your system and it's often very hard to concieve after being on the needle for a long period of time. I don't know you or your way of thinking, i'm assuming your thinking like i was, you don't have to remember a pill, and all that fun stuff, but really taking one small pill a day is just fine with me, anything is better then a on-going period. My advice...get lots of info on it, there is lots of posts on here about the depro-provera shot. Also there is now the Patch, don't know much about it but it might be something to look into. Good luck.
take care,
