Hi All !!! depo-provera shot

Hi everyone... boy i haven't been on here in a very long time. I'd say at least 6 months or more. Anyway, I just wanted to say i've only lost about 60-70 pounds (which i'm extremely happy with) but recently i got the depo-provera shot... and it seems like i gained about 10 pounds... which is alittle depressing since now my pants (which i like tight) are even tighter and my sides are hanging out alittle over the top of the pants. so, i was wondering if anyone else has taken this birth control shot and gained weight ( yes, i already know it's a common side effect) but has anyone gained weight but eventually lost it? thanks for responding

I stopped the shots, because of the weight gain side effects. We need some research done into better forms of BC....ones that don't result in weight gain. Karen G

It sucks to be a woman don't it I had my plumbing removed when I was 36. Left one ovary in so I get my hormones but it's nice to be able to play and never have to worry. Donna

I had weight gain from Effexor.. I am trying to conceive now so I am off bc, but when I was on the pill and then the patch i didn't have any problems with gaining. Michelle
