Hi, do you think i can gain weight after being on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) for 13 years?

Yes: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) does make many women gain weight. You may want to switch to something else. Being on Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for many years can cause you to get Osteoporosis later in life.
