Birth Control
"I have been on the Depo for 10 years!!! And it has been wonderful!! I don&#039;t have mood swings, I don&#039;t have depression. I feel a little blue on the day of the shot but that&#039;s about it. I did experience weight gain at first, I was 128 lbs starting on it then ballooned to 165 in the first 3 years, and now hover at 153 lbs (without real exercise but watching what I eat), I&#039;m 5&#039;6&quot;. The only reason I&#039;m getting off of it is because my current obgyn, who I switched to after 5 years of being on depo because my last obgyn retired, freaked out that I had been on it so long and wants to give my body a 1 year break due to the bone density loss issue. No acne, and my periods stopped after 6 months."
