Improved my skin
I've been on this 12 week injection on and off for the last two years now. The dosage is a lot lower than the compound in the implant (it's the same hormone but a lower dose in the 12 week) my moods haven't been erratic and my skin has improved. I had mild to severe spots around hormonal time of months that would clear up for maybe a day invetween cycles. After my second and third dose of this my periods are next to none and my skin is the best it's been in years, I have a simple skin routine with my cetaphyl facewash, This contraception isn't supposed to induce any sort of weight gain contrary to what a few of these reviews say.... I found that I couldn't compare my erratic moods I've had in the past to anything down to external inputs and not my contraception I've happened to be on at the time. Sure I'm bitch leading up to my period but it's so far and few I don't even know when that will be anymore! If you want regularity in your periods don't take this. It will make you irregular (maybe have longer periods at the start ) but the longer you stick with this contraception the less and less frequently they get

Works for me
I've been on depo for 5 years now. I started it right after having my now 5 year old daughter. I've had no problems except for some mild skin breakouts. My periods stopped completely and I had zero side effects except for the 2-3 pimples I get a month. However they are cystic type pimples, and usually take a week or so to go away. Since they're under the skin they can be painful but are easy enough to cover up since they really can't be seen I just feel them there. The only times they're noticeable is when I get stupid and try to pop/pick them . I also did start taking calcium supplements and start yoga and weight bearing exercises to help prevent the bone loss that I know is a side effect. Those minor side effects are def worth it to me for never having to deal with a period, cramping, or pms. I know other ppl have had much worse side effects tho so ultimately it all depends on your body
