This is sort of random, but I see a lot of people on here bashing the depo shot, and I thought I would put a good word out there. With the shot, you definitely gain weight, which sucks of course, but it's not impossible to lose it or work on it. I gained about 20 pounds on the shots, and I work out three times a week, and I'm honestly fine. This was when I was at my highest weight (because of the shot), and then today after being on the shot for over a year. I dropped the weight I gained from the shot in the matter of 2/3 months. I see people all the time saying the shot isn't worth it because of weight gain, but it's not true at all. I don't get my period at all anymore, which means no cramps (the reason I started getting it). So if weight gain is your only worry with getting the shot, I'd say go for it! Just thought I'd put that out there ☺️
