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

Hi Susan, I was on the Deprov for years and gained a numerous amount of weight. I wasn't able to control it until I got off. However, I loved being on the Depo (no period for 3 years; do you know how much money I saved in "napkins") I guess not much, my insurance didn't cover the shot... oh well... good luck. Bea.
