I had the depo for 3 years and loved it. I didn't gain any weight or have any crazy mood swings or anything like that. But the way my doctor explained it to me is birth control isn't something that's "good" for you no matter the type but the effects vary from person to person.

Thank you ladies! Good to hear actual stories. I hate birth control all together. Seems like there isn't a good one out there. ☹️

The depo is poison. It made my bones weak, took away my periods for 7 years. Made me depressed moody I gained 60 lbs in the first year and now I have fertility issues and having trouble getting pregnant I don't recommend it

Depo shot made me horribly depressed and moody. It also made me bleed for 4 months straight after. I hated it.

Im On The Depo Shot And It Took My Period Away After 3-4 Months And It Just Messes With Your Mood And Gain And Lose Weight

same exact feelings, pill makes me sick i throw up and feel weird emotionally, dont want anything inside me bc ppl have been coming up left and right with infertility from them at very young ages, but the shot use to make ppl gain alot of weight hope it has changed... bc i am so scared to get pregnant right after

I have had the shot before and only got it for one month because it started to make my hair fall out and made me very very irritable and moody
