I just got my first depo shot today and I'm terrified now

[lrufner90]

Hello everyone. So today I just got my very first depo injection. I did read into some, but I don't think enough. I've recently just lost 40 pounds going from 190-150. I go to the gym 5-6 times a week and dont eat crap anymore. I'm reading horror stories everywhere of people gaining weight and I am REALLY freaking out BADLY! I feel like now I did all that work for nothing. I was just wondering on average how much weight is gained during the first shot?  I'm not going to get another injection after this one because of the crazy stories I've been hearing, but I am really scared about gaining weight, especially excesive amounts of weight.

I had my first depo shot in jan 08 and by the time i went back for the 2nd in march i had gained about 25lb all around my middle..i stopped going after that..i used to be a size 10 but after having that i went to a size 14....I cant believe how i changed...really gutted... i wouldnt mind being a size 14 because thats not big at all but the weight is just around my middle like a tyre...wouldnt recommend it to anyone would rather go without sex...well....

within the first year of having the shot i gained about 25lbs and work out all the time and you cant lose the weight..but after about the first year i stopped gaining weight and have stayed the same for 3 years.
