Im 14 but will be 15 this month and im on depo provera (the shot) I've been on it since January. Today I started taking the calcium pills that they gave me to keep my bones strong. Does depo provera make you gain weight and does vitamin d increase hair growth and breast growth? Also i have a high metabolism and im 5'1 and 82 pounds.
I am most concerned that you are receiving DepoProvera at your age. Your prescribing physician is clearly aware that it appears to promote osteoporosis when administered to girls of your age, hence the Vitamin D. There is however no clear cut evidence that this helps in this instance.
Vitamin D does not cause weight gain, hair or breast growth. The Depot injection can sometimes cause all of these things however.
Yes, depo provera may cause you to put on weight. But you’d be a lot fatter with a baby growing inside you!
Vitamin D does not grow hair and boobs, it just increases calcium uptake into your bones. Which, since you’re taking calcium pills, is probably not such a great idea since you could OD on calcium, making your joints stiff. Best to get your vitamin D from the suns rays.
