"while on the depo i had no issues other than severe weight gain. they tried to tell me that i was eating more and that&#039;s what caused it, but i was very strict about what i ate so i know without a doubt it wasn&#039;t that. once i stopped the depo, about 2 months after i stopped the shots, i started cycling. my cycle was heavy and painful, and it hasn&#039;t stopped nearly 2.5 years later (i very rarely get a day or two where it isn&#039;t bleeding). i&#039;m still in the process of getting lab work done and finding a resolution. 



depo seems to work wonderfully for some people, but it works terribly for others. i&#039;m not sure if there&#039;s a way to screen if it will work well with your body or not, but because of this i wouldn&#039;t recommend it."
