You seem to be confusing the number 0 and the letter o... anywho.. One of the side effects of the shot is that it can make you gain weight. My friends who get the shot did gain some weight ( usually under 10 pounds ) It also says that you can lose weight. It depends on the person, because everyone is different.
Congrats on using contraception! The weight gain is really nothing to worry about, it's nothing you can't get rid of going jogging a couple nights a week or not eating that extra bag of potato chips, just try to eat healthy and make sure you're getting your vitamins.
