So Im 2 months out and ready to get back on birth control. Surgeon wanted me to wait 3 months but my husband and I had a near accident so I'm going on it now. My question is about the depo shot. Has anyone gone on that post op and did it effect your loss? I've heard it can make you gain weight. I'd rather not have to take a pill everyday.

I've heard good and bad things about that birth control. My bestfriend was on it and it effected her badly. Weight gain and she had periods on and off sometimes 2 times a month. Have you thought about the one they put in your arm? I was looking into that one for myself.

I'm thinking of getting the copper IUD. No hormones involved!

I had the copper kid and had a tubal pregnancy with it, almost died in major surgery. Very painful long periods and developed anemia while I had it. I took a chance and tried the mirena and all is well two years later. I had the mirena during surgery also.

After talking with my doctor I opted not to get the depo. She said the average weight gain is 5lbs a year and she said she didn't want to set me back. I ended up with the lowest dose of hormone pill available.

ive had the depo and i gain more then a few pounds and periods were crazy but now i have inplanon the one that goes in the arm for four yrs ive had mine in for almost two with no problems you get your cycle but it ends up stopping as time goes on hope this helps

I love depo. No period. Easy to remember.
