I took Depoprovera for about 18 months. After I discontinued the drug, I did not have a period for almost a year. About the time my period finally kicked in, I started losing weight. About 5 months later I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

You can never be sure of these things, everything we do implies a certain risk. I suppose I would try something else to make sure I keep my heath at an acceptable level.

I was on Depo provera for 6 months i gained over 20 lbs.The weight didn't come slowly either I'd ain like 10 lbs in 3 days.After about a month after each shot I had gained about 12 lbs and wouldn't gain any more until rhe next shot.I decided that i couldn't do this I went from 108lbs to 130+.So I've been off for almost a month & haven't really lost any weight yet but hoping to. Also on the shot i was extremely moody & emotional.I'd get so angry at little things & cry about evrything.But tht has started to subside. I don't think depo is right for anyone!

if that is the case, then I guess it is safer to use the pill. but then the pill's side effects is another story.
