"i&#039;ve had absolutely no issues with depo. i was on the pill for approx. 15 years and wish i had made the switch sooner. i&#039;m generally prone to weight gain but didn&#039;t experience this at all after starting the shot; i started training for a fitness competition shortly after and was concerned it might be harder for me to cut weight but had no issues whatsoever. it&#039;s so much easier than having to take a pill every day and there are some great calendars online that tell you when you&#039;re able to go back for the next one and when you&#039;re deadline is. i have absolutely no problem recommending depo to anyone."
