Hi all,

I couldn't not post a reply to this thread. I don't care what ANYONE says: Depo can cause weight gain even if your eating is impeccable.

Ten days after my last shot of Depo, the gain started. I've always been thin, and when the gain started, I ate a solid 1200 calories a day and ran EVERY SINGLE DAY. Used fitday, low-carbed, etc. It didn't matter what I did; the number on the scale continued to climb. In the end, I gained 8 pounds, and on a 5'2" woman that's a lot. Before I went off Depo, I was 15 percent body fat (runner/body builder); now, I'm about 25 percent. And that's because I control my eating EVERY SINGLE DAY. I can't imagine what I'd weigh if I didn't.

Every woman has a different experience on Depo. So please do not insinuate that every woman who gains weight on Depo does so because of out-of-control eating. It's not true.
