I have been on the Depo shot for 3 or almost 4 years. I talked with my doctor just last week and I have decided to switch to the pill and then when I am a bit thinner the patch. My boyfriend is behind me 100% on this but I have to say we are both a little nervous (Nothing like loosing weight and then getting prego! BLA). I am not only coming off depo because my doctor agrees with me about the weight loss thing (she has patients that just can not loose when they are on the shot) but because 4 years of depo is really bad for your bones and osteoporosis is common in my family.
So I guess what I am saying is I was happy with depo for 4 years but ready to move on.
