"i have been on the depo shot for over a year now and i regret having it done! everyone&#039;s bodies are different! but my experience wasn&#039;t good put it that way. i always have bad headaches and belly ache. the main problem for me was the weight gain i used to be size 12 now i&#039;m size 16-18!!! i always feel depressed and get very moody over little stupid things! i am coming off this and very much considering going on the copper coil as this doesn&#039;t have any hormones. some advice if you have had problems on the pill or anything you will probably get this on the depo. also i haven&#039;t had any periods on this which was the only good thing."
