Okay i have been on depovera for about 2 years now.. I just didn't go in for my last shot. I kind of dont want it anymore. I dont really know exactly why its just people have been telling me soo much stuff. I've heard that it will screw my body up and ruin my hormones. And it will be hard for me ever to get pregnate if i wanted to (off the shot). It's just all gotten to me.. The shot makes me really moody. I will be happy one second and be really mad the next. I cry for no reason.. The reason i first got on it is because i dont have regular periods and i was always thinking i was pregnate because i wasn't having periods... I am in a very serious relationship and i have been for about 4 years... Should i stay on the shot?? What are the dangers etc*.
Any info would be great!
ALSO... I was told when i got on the shot i would gain weight.. Well i actually lost weight.. Does that mean when i get off the shot i will gain weight? Will getting my periods back make me gain weight?

Get OFF the shot.
I was on it for four years and it was horrible.

You need to discuss this with your doctor.
Going on or off BC doesn't guarantee weight gain (or loss). There shouldn't be any dangers to going OFF the Depo Provera shots.
Discuss with your doctor other options if you want to change your birth control or go off of it completely.
