I was on depo for a year and a half(WORST STUFF OUT THERE!!!)...made me gain tons of weight,get nausea,Headaches,loss of sex drive,mood swings and the list goes on and on. Its true that not everyone will suffer from the same side effects but it still doesn't change the fact that its all POISON to our bodies try a safer option(i gave up on hormones and use condoms and a diaphragm now)......BEST WISHES w/ whatever u choose
