hi I just started on depo and need a support group bu NOT a bunch of horror stories. I work out three times a day and eat modestly. I get hunger cravings and moods but try to ignore them.

Most likely, yes. Sorry to say it. But I had been on it for about 3 years and have gained almost 20 lbs. Also, everyone I know who has been on it has gained weight, no matter of how good of shape they were in or how much they exercised.

Sorry hun, but the best advice I can give you(and probably many others on here), is GET OFF IT AND QUICK! I'm only 19 and having severe problems from it. I have only been on it about 3 years after having my daughter, and it's horrible. I've found the one I want to spend my life with and give him a child because he has none and because of the shot, there's a good chance I will be unable to have any more kids from what the doctor says. The whole period thing sucks, I've gotten very moody and somewhat depressed being on it, and have gained about 20 lbs living an active life and chasing a 3 1/2 year old all day long. From my experience and those of other posts, I can honestly say I haven't been through or heard of one good thing Depo has done.
