| Hi All
I am a family planning nurse and just wanted to clarify your queries with regard to contraception, even though it was a while ago.
Its true to say that Depo provera can affect your appetite. Its the sheer amount of hormone (3 months worth) being shoved into your body all in one go that can definately make you much hungrier. To be honest I personally wouldnt recommend it to anyone who is struggling with their weight as in my experience it doesnt help.
With regard to the 3 year implant (implanon). This is a great method of contraception and doesnt tend to increase appetite as it leaks a small amount of hormone into the system on a daily basis so shouldnt effect the appetite as much.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!
