Let see... I have been off depo for 7 months now.. everything was perfect, but not now. I just recently had my "period" or spotting spree from June 28th until July 5th. I just recently ended. & now today, I just went to the bathroom and wiped and found "pink" on the tissue. I am not trying to be descriptive, but its botherig me. I really do not want to have another period. All the other months were perfect... 4 to 7 day period than no more for the month. Now all of a sudden I get it once and then it comes back. Do you think it could be the Depo again? I'm just worried and really concerned because I do not like this "spotting" show anymore. My period was normal... until I got on this crap.

Can some one tell me if this is still depo causing this or is it just me?
Also... I have been gaining excessive amount of weight lately. I have no idea why.

Anyone have any suggestion on a good diet that can help me lose a bunch of weight?

Please help and give me some advice... I hate this crap. Really do

I Think I Have The Same Problem But Kind of Different.
Im Still On Depo And I Gained Like A Lot Of Weight I Used To Weigh 50-55kg Now I Nearly Weigh 75kg..
Is It Beacause Of Depo?

I heard that depo makes you gain weight... I have gained weight when I was on it and I have been gaining some too since I got off.. When I began I weighed like 150lbs and now I weight 224. Its ridiculous.. Like we go on depo to not get pregnant or fix our periods and we end up with all these symptoms... I really don't think its worth all the trouble. :( I hate depo.. I hate having my period and gain weight.. it sucks... I was on Depo from March 2006 until October 2006. I got off After the October Shot ran out and now I have nothing but problems. I hate it!

It does really suck, I used to be on the pill but it still did the same thing,
I've heard there is a pill that you can get that prevents you from getting pregnant and helps you loose weight but you just forget to take them all the time.
GRRRR IF ONLY THERE WAS AN EASIER WAY!!

It is a side effect of being on the depo injection. I to am on the injection and have gained a lot of weight. I was told that when I come of the injection that my weight will decrease to its usual weight before the depo. I also do not have any periods while on the depo injection and have been told it can take any where from 2 weeks to 2 years for your body to get back to normal. Just hope its soon.

The Depo can take up to a year to fully be out of your body. In some cases, I've even heard of 2 years. The spotting is more than likely still caused by the Depo. Weight gain is a side effect of the Depo, but usually when it is out of your body SOME of the weight will come off on its own.

Cutting carbs is a good way to diet. But remember you always have to accompany it with exercise!

I would NOT recommend going on Depo again. I was on it and I am NEVER getting it again. I just got an IUD today. If you want a long term birth control, you might want to look into the IUD :)
