A member asked:
My last depo-provera shot was 5 months ago and i was wondering when i can start getting the weight off from it?

Start today: Depo does not cause weight gain. It causes hunger and appetite stimulation which can lead to weight gain is some people. Dont let depoprovera be an excuse. Weight loss is very hard work. Diet and exercise. Develop great eating habits and stick with it.

Depo and menses: The Depo-Provera shot makes the lining thin and is a hormone injection that lasts up to 3 months. In some patients, it may last a bit longer. If one of those where the medications last longer, it may take a while until her body adjusts back to normal. It may take longer to lose the weight gained while on the medication. I would seek help if it still remains difficult.
