Depo provera shots 3 time.weight gains >4kg.tested for sugar, normal.a nurse said probably it's water retention.should i be concerned?

Eating more?: One of Depo-Provera's side effects is weight gain, usually from having a higher appetite/being more hungry. You are not alone in that. If concerning to you, perhaps talk to your doctor about IUD for contraception?
