Did you gain weight on the depo shot?

Question

Answer

I took the shot 1 time 5 years ago. I started at 120-125. After only taking the shot 1 time and 6 months later I was up to 160. 5 years later I still cannot lose the weight. I can honestly say taking that shot was 1 of the worst decisions I have made.

Answer

I was on depo 3 years and the first 2 I had not gained weight. My weight fluxuated to reflect how physical I was. I was away at college while I was on it and summers at home I'd lose weight but at school I would gain (it yo-yoed) I do not think it was because of the depo. The last year i gained the most weight but i think it was from all the stress of graduation and not due to depo. I gained weight while on depo but i don't think it was due to the BC but rather my physical activity and stress.

Answer

When I first started taking depo I was 106 pounds, about 9 months later I was weighed again and I was only 97 pounds. I'm not sure if it was the birth control or the fact that I was in high school and Michelle Obama cut our lunch portions down. But honestly since I've started taking depo it's been harder for me to gain weight, I don't fluctuate like I use to.
