I've been on the birth control shot, Depo-Provera, for at least two years very soon and one of it's side effects is change in cargo. Apparently, a lot of women do gain weight while using this precise method of birth control. Over the past couple of months, I've began to find stretch results forming on my body and I'm only seventeen. I now use a chafe cream for stretch marks twice a day.

I am told that it could be because of the shot and that it's outlandish for me to never have a period. I've gain at least 10-15 pounds in a short time of time and it's quite upsetting. I'm no longer comfortable with my body at adjectives. Should I stay on the shot and invest in a gym membership, or should I shift methods? Please help. :|

Thanks

Girl Problems!!?

Depo-Provera causes bulk gain in almost all women and that substance gain only increases over the years. With long term use, it also cause bone loss. The answer to this question depends on you. If you come off of the depo, are you proficient of remembering to take a pill everyday? Sounds easy, but a great deal of people mess up on birth control pills. Birth control pills also generally do not rationale weight gain contrary to what a lot of empire say. In fact, I lost solidity when I started Yasmin.

I would talk to your Dr. about your concerns. If the other option don't seem to be something that could work for you, I would stay on the Depo. You'll gain a LOT more weight if you go and get pregnant. Oh, and don't join a gym unless you are SURE you are going to take benefit of it. Working out is great for you even if you DONT want to lose weight. Good luck!
