I never took the Shot, but I did have the Norplant implants in my arm for a while a long time ago. Talk about "SuperB*tch"! I gained weight, was angry/weepy/manic all the time, periods were weird too. I had them taken out. Then I went and got an IUD, but then my periods lasted about 2 weeks, really heavy, then stopped and started back up a week and a half later. I ended up getting the IUD taken out because I got Pelvic Inflamatory Disease from it. I don't have much luck with ANY type of Birth Control, so I don't use any, but my hubby is "fixed" so I need not worry now.

I don't reccomend the shot or implants to people, but some women like the no-hassle-ness of them. They just effected my health too much, not to mention my sanity lol.
