Depo-Provera Weight Gain
I have been on the depo shot for a year now. I heard that it can make you gain weight. I didn't have a problem for the first while. But lately I have gained a little weight, I have been eating about the same, maybe even less with my work schedule. Could anyone tell me what could cause this? My doctor recommends that I do not stay on it for longer than 2 years. Have any of you been on it for that long and had long term side effects? Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
I am not a doctor but I was also on it for a few years as well.
I gained 30lbs from being on it, Thankfully I completely lost all the weight. All birth controls come with some sort of side effect just like a prescription drug would have a label warning. So, That's the best way I can explain it. I definitely recommend getting off of it as soon as possible. I also noticed once I got off the Depo my cycle was never again the same.
If you want a good one, Try looking into the Mirena IUD.
