Hi! I've used depo a few different times over the last several years with no problems. I went on it again a year ago and gained weight (25 lbs!) and lost all interest in sex (that is SO not like me!). I switched to Nuvaring about 5 months ago. Since then I've only managed to drop 3 lbs and I still feel asexual (thankfully my boyfriend is very patient through all this)! I'd appreciate hearing from anybody who has also been through this and how long it took them, or what it took them, to get through it! I'm going in for my annual in a couple weeks and I'd like to know what I should ask of my doctor for help with this. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the info--it gives me hope that I won't be non-sexual for the rest of my life!

P.S. Love the sea lion!
