I've been on the Depo-Provera shot, which is a birth control shot, and just before i went on the shot i weighed 125 and i was still losing because i was maturing and puberty was finally doing me good, but soon after i went on the shot it was 5 pounds here and there and now ive gained 20 pounds i feel misrible, now im only 5ft tall and weighing as much as i do has put me in an obese catagory because of my fat percentage. I used to feel beautiful and AMAZING before i went on this shot but now im misrible and so COMPLETLY unhappy with my body and can almost never stop thinking about it. After i gained 10 pounds i started exercising 2-3 times a week for at least half an hour.....i didnt lose ONE pound but i didnt gain either so it was sort of a bitt sweet but i got out of the swing of it and gained another ten. Im just wondering if i get off this shot will i be happier?? I dont wanna get off of birth control so i wanna go on the pill.
So does ANYONE have any opinions on this? WILL it be diffrent to be on the pill?? I wanna feel better about myself and i cant do anyhting to shed 20 small pounds.............even though 125 is still a little chubby i would be EXTATIC if i could be that way again!! please help, thanks to much for reading my story Posted on 02/18/09, 02:02 pm |

if you want something that is long lasting you could always try the implant?
its a small bar that goes into your arm (it doesnt hurt btw because they give you local anesthetic) and it last for 3 years. im on that and i have been successfully losing weight since being on it. if you arent very good with tablets then the implant is really good cause you dont have to worry about it for 3 years lol. plus its the most effective contraceptive there is :) http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Contraceptive-implants-and-injections/Pages/Introduction.aspx?url=Pages/what-is-it.aspx this also tells you about the injection btw, i think they come in the same category because they are long term contraception :) hope this helps!
