What's your experience with the depo shot?

Question

Or any other kind of birth control shot!
I'm considering going back on it, but last time it made me gain a lot of weight. Wondering what others' experiences with it have been.

Answer

I gained 30lbs in 6 months and I was still in high school... It was devastating for me and caused depression... My cycle was weird too, for one month I was happy, fine, then the second month I was terribly hungry and angry, then I bled for the whole third month until I got the shot again.
All in all I HATE the shot. I think there are much better BC options available.

Answer

I got one shot last November gained 40 lbs,hair loss,anxiety,and back aches.My cycle finally started in August,until then I just felt like I would have a cycle but never did Don't do it

Answer

I gained 28lbs in a year and that still happened with me watching my diet and walking 4 miles a day 5 times a week! I can only imagine how much I would have gain if I wasn't already trying to control the weight gain side effect!
