I was on the shot for about 8 years, not quite sure of the exact number of years though, but it was a long time. I loved it. But as everyone has mentioned, it's a very individual thing and everyone will have different results. I have heard a few people, like justjess, say it's horrible and hated it. Personally for myself it was a godsend and I didn't have any weight gain and loved not having a period. That being said, after being on it for such a long time I decided to have a break (there have been reports that it can possibly cause some boneloss). My doctor and I are discussing having me take a bone density scan to ensure everything is okay and then I think I will put myself back on it. I'm on the pill right now (I just switched from Alesse to Yasmin). I hated Alesse (nothing too horrible, just wasn't fond of it) and am only on my first month of Yasmin, so I don't have much of an opinion on it yet. It's really trial and error to find something that works best for you. I'm going to give the Yasmin a couple months and then do the bone scan and hopefully get myself back on Depo. Good luck and let us know how things are going for you!!
