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
