I used Depo-Provera for over 9 years, during which time I did not have periods. I started experiencing an increase in side effects, so along with my Dr., decided to stopped getting the shots. I have been "depo-free" for a little over 2 months now, and have experience a weight gain of about 10lbs and have not had any indication of a period yet.
Has anyone else gone off the shot and what did you experience??

I stopped depo about 9 months ago due to side affects too. I did experience a small amount of weight gain, but i was gaining weight all the time that i was on depo anyway (about 2-3 years)
It took about 4 months for my period cycle to resume and 6-7 months for my appetite to return to what it was before, it was a very slow process for all my symptoms to disappear, but now after 9 months i believe i am finally completely free of them.

I never gained off the shot, I gained ON the shot. I've been depo-free for 1 1/2 years now and my weight is slowly coming off with diet and working out.
After depo I immediately went on Kariva (pill) and got my period back in three pill packs/months.
Without pills it can take up to or over a year for periods to come back, especially since you've taken it for over 9 years (WOW!).
Have you gotten a bone density check done yet? I hear you need that done after five years.
