What a horrible method of birth control! After the birth of my son I used Depo with the idea that I could breast feed. I gained 20 lbs and was a complete basket case for the 3 month duration the 1 shot lasted. I never took another shot again.
I never lost the weight until after the birth of my daughter this past April. I had to really, really workout alot and watch every calorie. I used Slim Fast Optima shakes for breakfast and lunch, drank a ton of water and diet iced tea and usually had a very small dinner if any at all. I don't reccomend that, but with a new baby and a 2 year old taking up every moment of your time, you sometimes forget to eat.
I later asked my endocrinologist ( thyroid doctor) about it and she said that if had known that I was considering using it she would have recommended against it.

I didn't gain a pound. I did make sure to eat properly and exercise regularly. I actually lost 60lbs in 6 months after starting on depo. I have heard a lot of people gain weight, just make sure you eat a balanced diet and exercise
