It seems weird to me because I'm 17 now. I got the shot a few months back before I turned 17, I was always skinny but had a little meat but now I'm just losing weight. I was 142 now I'm close to 120. I've also been experiencing pelvic and kidney pain, seriously don't know why, and it's a sharp pain that comes and is there for a few minutes then go away. My next appointment is coming up for my second shot. I have so many questions to ask them. My mom even scheduled another doctor appointment before that one to see what's wrong with me. Is my body not reacting well to this shot or am I just overreacting?

I came to this forum to see if others have lost weight from the depo shot just as I had in the past. I am 35 and have gotten up to 200lbs. I was on depo for 9 years 18-27, I got off and was pregnant 8 months later. During the 9 years time I had no monthly period and lost weight I maintained a weight of 135lbs. With no diet or exercise. Since being off the depo I have continued to gain weight each year roughly 10lbs a year. I just recently got back on depo to see if it was truly the depo that kept the weight off. I couldn't believe I actually was losing weight on depo when others gained it but I am a believer after reading these posts. Negative side effects I did have were: poor memory, severe mood swings (depressed or angry often), increased cavities, random leg pains in my calves, heart racing, hot all the time, low sex drive and loss of appetite. Also the first few days I could feel the medicine go thru my body, speed up my heart rate, make me thirsty, gave me diarrhea and effect my vision. Honestly ALL worth it for the weight loss, no period and birth control

I'm hoping this happens after I have my baby! I was on depo for 3 years and lost 50 pounds. Came off to get pregnant and gained it all back. So I CANNOT wait to get it back.

I have recently gained 20 lbs in the past 6 months and have been feeling a bit upset with myself for it. I'm already a little over weight but am also tall. I've been on depo for only 5 days and have had no cravings and have noticeably lost weight. I hope this trend continues. What Have been your results so far?

I started the depo a week ago and have lost 4 pounds. I have to admit I was so scared to gain weight that I did start to exercise more and I started to eat healthy. I am getting acne which does suck but I think once my body gets used to the birth control it might calm down. I am hoping this continues to be honest. I could lose about 12 pounds to be back to my high school weight. I am 5"7 and I started at 130 pounds now I'm at 126.

I lost 22kgs since being on my Depo and I've lost my appetite aswell i only have 1 peice of toast with avocado and coffee with no sugar and low fat milk and that fills me up but I do notice I bleed a little bit while I'm on it but also I like to work out but ive been on it for 4 month, I'm thinking to get off it because of the bleeding and getting put on the implant or pill but the pill made me put on weight so I have to say that the Depo actually makes you lose weight but it depends if you eat junk a lot but I do recommend eating healthy while you on it my mums a doctor and she told me it shouldn't make you put on weight just don't eat heaps

I also loss weight once I got on the depo shot. I am a 17 year old athlete and I used to be 145-150 pounds. I have a smaller waist, but I've always had a bigger butt. After my first shot I lost weight EXTREMELY fast. I now weigh 130 pounds, after a meal I weigh about 133. I decided to get the shot for a second time hoping things would be different but they haven't. My doctor told me weight loss is uncommon but I should be "fine". She also told me I should be happy that I've lost weight instead of gained but I am NOT. I need to maintain a healthy weight due to me being involved in sports. But I haven't gained at all. I drink protein shakes before and after meals in hopes to get some extra calories in but it doesn't help. My 2nd shot time period is almost up, and I'm going to get off of the shot and try something else.

After all the comments I've seen from the rare women/girls who lose weight instead of gain weight on the depo shot, I feel like it is usually the smaller figure ones who lose weight. Most girls who gain are usually already a bit bigger or "chubby". I was about 145 pounds but am now 130. I am 5'5 and I have an athletic build. I lost this weight after the first month of getting it. I spotted the entire 3 months, and had my usual period. After the second shot, my period stopped completely. I still haven't gain any weight, my butt and legs are smaller and my old pants no longer fit. I'm very insecure about how small I am now. My boyfriend also notices it, and he misses my old body.

Hey there my first depo shot I bled for 2 months straight but I stuck it out and after my third shot I stopped getting my period I also have lost ALOT of weight on depo I was 177 I am now 110

Same here! I've only gotten my second shot, but my chest has gotten smaller and I have no appetite. Lost a couple of pounds which I can't afford to lose since I'm now at 85 lbs. My next shot is in May/June so I'm praying once o get off it, my weight will come back. The shot is awful!! Weight loss and severe depression.. Not really my thing :(

When you already look like a sti ck it can be a problem. I'd rather not look like a meth head.

I lost weight myself using depo . I got the shot once and within two , three weeks I noticed I was losing weight . I never went back for the second shot . In December I weighed 140 , now I'm 125 . Everybody tells me I lost weight as if I don't already know that . I hate it . My doc gave me another option of birth control which are the pills . I haven't yet took them because I'm afraid I might lose more weight . Smh
