"i started this birth control at 145lbs 5&#039;3 so i was already a little heavy but i was working out and eating healthy to keep losing weight. the first shot seemed fine. by the second shot, i gained 5lbs which i thought was odd but the doctor said it was normal. i then started becoming very depressed and spent most of my days sleeping or in bed. i gained another 10 lbs. when it was time for the third shot. the 3rd shot made me gain 25 more lbs where i was at 185. i always ate relatively healthy and went to the gym. and i decided to not take the 4th shot. and it&#039;s been about a month past when i was supposed to take the 4th shot and i&#039;m finally starting to lose weight. i&#039;m at 175 now and still have a long way to go."
