Hello Erica,
I have been with Depo since the birth of my first daughter 6 years ago.... Then
I stopped in October of 1998 got my period February of 1999 and got pregnant
October of 1999. And after the birth of my second child I am back on Depo....
I have no complaints about the depo except for the weight gain. I have searched
for that magic birth control that does not have that side effect but it seems
like they all do. I have noticed that you can lose weight with Depo but you can
gain it back twice as fast than the average person. I am struggling to lose
weight. Weight Watchers has been my second home. But I am thinking of trying
something else. I must say it is hard to keep weight off with this.

to hear some
things on depo from people that are happy with it. I've been on for 2
years and I'm considering changing (mainly due to negative sites on
the info). I started taking depo because I was worried I would forget
to take the pill or that I would get pregnant when I took antibotics.
Plus I had really horrible periods. I still get my period at the end
of the shot but it's much better than every month! The problem I'm
having is weight gain. I'm having a hard time with it. I gained 10-13
pounds and I heard from my gyno that I can gain more. However I just
started to really really focus on excerise (5 times a week). The
thing is I'm worried about the other side effect if I use it longer.
There is breast cancer history in my family (my mom and my
grandmother's sister) and I'm scared of other things that I won't
know about until I'm off of it. I have been happy with it besides the
weight gain (I still fit in most of my clothes but I would like my
slimmer self back). Any words of wisdom? Has anyone lost weight they
gained from depo? If I could get some feedback I would be extremely
helpful.
