Does anyone know if depo makes you put on weight?

I seem to be heavier since having it. If anyone came off it, did your weight go down again subsequently (asks hopefully!) I have just come off it after about 2-2.5 yrs.

Ebbie - thanks for that, I wasn't absolutely sure and didn't want to expose my ignorance! It is many years since I used it. I came off it in about October 1996 and it caused horrendous problems for me, totally messed up my periods. For 18 months I was bleeding for more days than not. I was told it takes up to 2 years for it to get completely out of your system and I just had to put up with it til it righted itself.

I wasn't trying to conceive at that point so can't help with your question. I think it's right though that even if you're not having periods you are still ovulating.

I was on depo and it did take a few months to have a period again but as titania says it can take up to a yr. Hope it wont be too much longer for you tho x

my doc said it can take up to a year for periods to return after coming off it.
