The shot, is it true?

Question

So I'm considering the shot but I've heard people who have gained a lot of weight on it. How many shots did you noticed the weight gain? And we're you thin before? I've read not everyone gains weight but I'm worried I don't will gain a lot so I would want to know more about this weight thing. 
Thank you in advance! 😊

Answer

I hated the shot, I was thin before, and I didn't put on a ton a weight, but it didn't help when I tried toning up. It made me depressed, acne was terrible and low sex drive. I would never, ever get it again.

Answer

I was on the shot for almost two years. I gained maybe 10 lbs but I also didn't eat healthy at all, and was only moderately active. I never noticed mood changes or a lower sex drive. I did stop having a period, but honestly that was a plus for me! There are pros and cons to every birth control, and everyone reacts to each differently. I say try it if you are thinking about it, continue it for 6 months (that's 2 sets of shots) and see how your body takes to it

Answer

I gained almost 20lbs when I got the shot and i was thin - my diet nor exercise changed
When i switched to the Nuva ring the weight came off

Answer

I got the shot twice. I didn't gain any weight from it, but I did bleed constantly. They told me after my second shot the bleeding would stop, we'll it didn't. I was miserable and my poor husband was so grossed out. Also just so you it can take up to a year or more to get pregnant after getting the shot. Just in case you're planning on kiddos :)

Answer

I loved the shot. Didn't gain or loose weight, no deporession, or any side effects from it.

Answer

Hated it. I put on a lot of weight and not matter what I did I could not lose the weight for over a year and a half after (When it finally got out of my system). I got pregnant and lost 50lbs in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. I literally changed nothing. Just was finally put of my system.

Answer

Each person is different. When I was on the shot it threw my hormones way off and I lost alot alot of weight (the shot made me crazy and anorexic)

Answer

What is it for?

Answer

Different woman have different reactions, but when I was on it I had a horrible reaction to it,I bled all of the time,gained 20lbs and my hair fell out,so proceed with caution lol

Answer

It depends on the person. My sister never gained weight on it, she actually lost weight. She was on it for 7years, got pregnant with my niece (not straight away) and then went back on it for another 5years and has come off it again cause they're trying for another soon.

I only received 3 shots. That's 9months. And in that 9months, I gained 20kgs. Nothing about my lifestyle changed. I still ate the same, exercised the same and everything. I went from 46kgs to 66kgs in 9months. It made me depressed and I got a lot of chest infections. I got a lot of the side effects they warn you about and it sucked. It took 10months to get my period back and they were more irregular than they were before I went on the injection. I also lost my sex drive and my poor boyfriend and I drifted apart for the last 6months I was on it.

But that's my experience. Everyone is different and everyone's body reacts differently.
