I've been on depo for two years now, missed one shot, and gained twenty pounds within a month, during that month of gaining weight I bled for 3-4 weeks, I got sick and tired of the heavy & consistent bleeding so I went back and got another shot and the bleeding stopped within 3 days. However, 2 years before I was on the shot I had a wonderful sex drive, I only have the desire to have sex when I'm not sober... for instance, (drinking or taking certain narcotic pain relievers.) I have a boyfriend of two years and I love him very much, the sex is phenominal and there's absolutely no problem with his size.. (down there)... I hate the feeling of only wanting to have sex when under the influence of alcohol or certain substances, even when im sober I know ill be satisfyed with the intercourse, but I simply just don't have the urge to engage in it. Hopefully this information was useful, and relative to other women. I'm going to discontinue the shot and stick it out through the heavy bleeding, and hopefully I'll slowly regain my interest in sex while SOBER as it was before I ever started the shot. Although I'm very worried about the weight gain from coming off of the shot. I do NOT recommend this birth control for any one. Please help if you have any suggestions on reducing the risk of weight gain
