    Question Wanting to start depo shots but worried about weight gain!

    Wanting to know of your experiences with depo shots, in particular if you put on any weight?

    I've also heard it doesn't do any good for your libido, which I'm also having issues with, is this true?

    Can't say on the libido cause mine has always been non existant thanks to Endo. As for the weight gain I have been on it for 2.5 yrs and put on 10kg

    It was the worst form of birth control I have ever used. I felt completely out of control of my body while I was on it - mood swings, zero libido, breakthrough bleeding. It was truly sh.it. I didn't gain weight, however I could not lose weight either.
