I was on Depo for about 5 years and my only complaint was like someone else said slow weight gain, but if you are suffering or cant stand your period go for it, I recommend getting the shot in your hiney

more fat there!! Just be careful of what you eat and get plenty of exercise! I have now switched to the ring and I have only been on it a month with no complaints, I really want to loose weight and I used be able to eat what I wanted w/o gaining a lb. I would love to go back to that, and Im hoping I will be as soon as I get used to the ring

Good Luck let us know what you decide to do!!
