I am trying to lose weight but seem to be stuck no matter how well i eat or how much i work out. i have been on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) for almost 9 months. what would you suggest?

Get off DEPO: Many women , either gain wt or cannot lose wt on Depo-Provera provera, (medroxyprogesterone) get on teh lowest dose bcpill which is loloestrin, you should be able to lose wt if u are on that pill, many of my pts do and in boca raton, fl, i give my pts samples of that pill to get started.

Try different BC: It's not true for everyone but Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) (dmpa) can cause weight gain. Along with hair loss, irregular bleeding, & depression; increased weight are the 4 major reasons my patients discontinue their injections. Keep up the diet & exercise and d/w your doc alternative birth control (bc) measures. Take care.
