"i gained so much during the injections. i weighed 120 and was happy with my weight. just after 6 months i weighed 145. i got off it because the weight gain was too much. my pants won&#039;t fit, shirts won&#039;t fit. i seriously need new clothes. i am so self conscious now and i never was before this. i just switched to the iud and i love it. i&#039;m still trying to lose the weight. right now i weigh 143 and its so hard to lose the weight. i exercise everyday and eat healthy but its a tough process.  i don&#039;t recommend going on this birth control. go for something else."
