Try another birth control! Depo is the only one that directly causes weight gain in controlled studies.

Cramps, whenever I’m on my cycle I can’t do everything I wanna do, I hate the blood & I get very bloated.

But I’m not sure if it’ll completely stop my cycle like the depo did

There are lots of different pills and some can stop all bleeding! You’d want to try either a progestin-only pill (aka POP or mini) or continuous use of a combo pill. Even within those categories, there are dozens of dosages. Do you have any other side effects you want or don’t want?
