Does the depo shot make you gain weight?

Question

I'm 21 years old and weigh 107 pounds so one of the main reasons why I went on bc was so I can gain a little bit of weight, has anyone gained weight from the shot?

Answer

Yes.

Answer

Yes & no 
The shot increases your appetite, so it's all in you hands.

Answer

The depo really screws with your body and most women regret getting on it. Use myfitnesspal to gain weight in a healthy way, it can help you to know what you should eat more of to gain weight.

Answer

Yes & no
It really depends on the individual and how your body interacts with it. 
Me- it did
My sister it didnt.

Answer

No. I don't see that as being a good reason to put yourself on the shot. I'm 25 and weigh about the same. It could just be your genetics making you small. The depot shot has so many negative effects. That's also not a good let alone healthy way to gain weight.

Answer

Yes it made me gain weight like crazy, I was starving all the time. It was painful to always be hungry. But it also gave me an ocular migraine (partially blind for a few hours, very scary!) and other nasty symptoms, so I don't recommend it. There are other ways to gain weight (even other medicines if need be), but I trust you'll do what's best for your situation and your body :)
