first off, go to www.depo-users.com and click on your stories and maybe you won't think so highly of depo after that. Second off, the average weight gain on depo is approximately 5 lbs during the first year, and 8.1 over 2 years...women who stay on depo for 4 years in average gained 13.8 lbs and 6 years...16.5 lbs overall. There are other statistics I have here about the weight gain on depo, just don't feel like typing them up. As for the pill, I have no clue, but I myself, have only been on depo for just over 2 years and am trying to find an alternative....I have gained 21+ lbs within these 2 years....good luck.
