Depo sucks. I tried it when I was younger and bled for three months straight and gained weight for no apparent reason.

Stupidly I tried it again 2 months ago. I haven't had much spotting but I've packed on 10-15 lbs even though I've been eating a bit healthier than I was before getting the shot.

I'm hoping it'll wear off more quickly than it did the last time. Weighing this much sucks, my clothes don't fit properly *whine whine whine*

I asked my GP about getting an IUD put in when I wound up getting depo. He said he doesn't put IUD's in women who haven't had children yet because of the increased risk of infection that can lead to fertility problems.

I should find a gynocologist and ask her about it, I'm SICK of hormonal b.c. methods. My body freaks out on them.
