What Are The Side Effects Of Depo Shot?
So I m on the depo shot, the past couple days I have had abdominal pain & been spotting some red & some brown.. I was wondering if it s just my period, infection, or maybe even a cyst.. Please help! Ps, I have had sex since February they gave me a pregnancy test before they gave me the shot it came back negative. It was a urine test not blood.
