Depo is EVIL!!!!! lol I know not everyone is the same, but I gained most of my weight from it! I know I didn't help it with not exercing, but I KNOW it effected something thing my brain. I would NEVER reccomend it, not even to my worst enemy. (Ok, maybe to my worst enemy) :laugh: I have an IUD now and couldn't be happier!

I gained 60lbs in 3 month's with the Depo, and It made me really depressed and it killed my sex drive..

I swore by my depo shot for 3 years. Then my OB did a bone density test and I was losing bone density so I had to come off of it. I'm only 22!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm already in stages of Osteopenia from this! On top of that, she told me that having been on the shot, I probably won't get pregnant for a year now. I JUST got married! We want to start a family! I wish my OB had told me all these things BEFORE I was on the shot for 3 years...

I did not gain weight from Depo, though. That I did on my own because I failed to eat healthy. I was eating junk, and greasy foods, and everything! That I do not blame on Depo.

I spent nearly 12 years on depo. Had a little weight gain in the beginning but I was in my early 20's. I went off it last August
and didn't have a regular period until January. Of all the years I was on depo I only had spotting during stressful times in my life.
I actually just got my first shot again this week. I expect to have some spotting but its well worth it to not have periods again!
