Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Depoprovera Birth Control Shot?
My name is megan, I'm 19 years old, and I stand 4 feet 9 inches tall, I just recently in the beginning of june got the depoprovera birth control shot, & I am starting my period. This has never happened to me before, & I have been on and off the shot for two years now. I'm just wondering if this is normal?
