The shot has worked wonders as far as no longer getting the monthly, but I do feel as my cramps have progressed

I think this is a great birth control method if you have absolutely 0 other options, but it DESTROYED my sex drive and made sex painful because I was no longer getting as much lubrication as I used to. I also gained a good bit of weight and retained a lot of water.
