Looking to Try the Shot...
Posted: 04-27-05 22:11pm

I recently found out after I had been experiencing dizziness, chest/leg pain, and bad headaches that I have a blood clotting disorder and will never be able to take birth control containing estrogen (i was on the patch). My only option is the shot but my older sister was on it and had bad experiences with it...However, she's now on the patch and has no problems and I do realize every body is different.. She gained 17 pounds (which was so unusual because she has always been 90 lbs!) i've also read on the internet that many people have had horrible experiences and that it leads your body to believing you're going through menopause! I'm very concerned about weight gain...I am very in shape (i work out everyday!) and just recently got myself to my ideal weight (110 lbs) so... I'm definately not looking to get fat or gain any weight for that matter! Lol. I would appreciate it so much if anyone could give me any personal experiences...Bad or good? Thanks
