"the depo has its ups and downs for sure. sex is great, my boyfriend never wears condoms and even though we should be safer he never pulls out. however i have gained about 15-20 pounds which is unfortunate because i used to always be my old certain weight. i noticed it just increases your hunger so if you watch what you eat and slow your roll on the food you should be fine or only gain a few pounds. i also don&#039;t get periods which i love but when it&#039;s about time for a new shot i do spot a little."
