I have been on the Shot (Depo Provera) since my 6 week check up and I have felt depressed, moody, very irritable, really tired I can sleep 8 hours and need a nap, and I've began gaining weight even though I haven't changed my eatting habits and have been excersing. I'm thinking about switching birth controls. Just want to know if I'm alone and if anyone has any suggestions?

Hello, how are you going.

through my experience, i do not agree with the depo shot. i used it 3- 4 times over a period of 9mths i gained 10 kgs! had major depression issues and just grumpy all the time. also afterword it all it took me 6 mths to get a reg period back, which means i was totally infertile during that time, and i have heard of many many cases of other women unable to get a reg period for like 4 years after using the depo.
STAY AWAY FROM IT, it made me fat, had to work v hard at the gym to loose it all lol.

i would go with the rod (implanon) in your arm if you looking for something long term, try marina or other long term birth control methods.
if you are planning on ttc with in the next year or two just take use the pill or condoms.

my advice anyways
goodluck
