Birth Control
"I am 25 and I have been on Depo-Provera for about 3 years. My mother is my doctor so she warned me about the weight gain. I somehow lost 5lbs once I started taking it. My weight has been up and down for the past 2 years but I don&#039;t think it is due to the shot. Its my love of food. Anyways, the shot is great; every 3 months. I haven&#039;t had a period for 3 years. Spotting every now and then but that&#039;s okay. I am very worried about getting off of the shot but I will prepare for that when the time comes."
