Hi Caitlin,

I am on Depo right now and was previously doing the continuous bc. Since being on depo my bleeding has stopped (I stopped as soon as I got the shot, started a week after, bled for two weeks, and nothing but smooth sailing since!), and I've actually lost weight (not the norm, but the bc I was on previously made me gain 10 lbs). As far as sex drive though.. I really have to force myself to "get in the mood", not my normal all day all night attitude (maybe tmi... sorry). I have noticed a bit more anxiety in my life, and the day after I got the shot I had massive acid reflux for a week. But bottom line, I think it's the best bc I've been on in a while.

Hope you find your solution!!
