I just took my 3rd dosage of my birth control shot (depo) about three weeks ago. just within the last week i have noticed my breasts feel a little fuller? could this possibly be caused by the shot? possibly due to gaining some weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: This is a normal side effect of the depo injection.
