I have been bleeding for 5-6 months on depo birth control. I had originally made an appointment here to see if I was pregnant because I was having unprotected sex and was overthinking a lot while on my first shot of birth control. I have never been on birth control and this is the only birth control I’ve been on. While at my appointment, I was told to go to the side and answer questions about what I wanted to do today. The white, thicker lady had asked “were you looking to take a pregnancy test? Because your own birth control” another woman had came by, I said “well could i possibly get my blood drawn?” (Again I overthought this pregnancy thing really hard.) She began speaking to the other woman a little loudly, all of this was in front of me, and she said, “well what does she want to do? Get a pregnancy test or get checked?” I had said, “a pregnancy test will be fine” to be out of her way because she had an attitude, and at this point I was uncomfortable. The older black woman had said “no that’s not what she wants.” And came around and sat with me and told me that you’re ok, you’re on the depo shot so you’re fine. She had said that it’s almost time to get my birth control shot, so that is what we did that day. Upon getting my shot, i had told her that I had been bleeding for most of my time on the first shot, she had said that it usually stops after the second shot. I had broke down crying, feeling uncomfortable about all the bleeding as well as feeling uncomfortable to proceed getting the shot, I had asked the woman giving me the shot if I could get on the pill.. but she had already opened the packet with the needle to give me the shot. So without almost saying anything, she walked out and had called the older black women because she said she now has to do protocol, so the older black lady had came to the room I was in to ask what was wrong, I told her about the bleeding, and she said it’s ok, you can take antibiotics to stop the bleeding and I said ok. So instead of getting on the pill, we continued with the shot and after she went over all of the birth controls and said that since I’m in school, the depo shot would be the best thing for you. After I left I knew that if were to continue bleeding, and take antibiotics too, the effectiveness of the birth control would go down. So I decided not to take it because I would be at risk of becoming pregnant. I am 18, attending UWA, and I’m not from here. This was at the most, the worst, uncomfortable, and emotional experience for me. I was alone and felt as if I was not heard. If you’re new here going to school at UWA, I wouldn’t recommend.
