One-month injectable contraception is widely used among women of reproductive age because of its effectiveness and convenience. However, prolonged use may be associated with weight gain, which can affect users’ contraceptive experience and adherence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the duration of one-month injectable contraceptive use and weight gain among long-term acceptors at PMB Bunda Bidan Hj. Mardiah Hayati. A quantitative analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among active one-month injectable contraceptive acceptors who met the inclusion criteria. A total of 60 respondents were selected using total sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews and medical record documentation and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). Most respondents had used one-month injectable contraception for more than 12 months (70.0%), and 66.7% experienced weight gain. The analysis showed a significant relationship between the duration of contraceptive use and weight gain (p = 0.003). Respondents who had used injectable contraception for more than 12 months were more likely to experience weight gain than those who had used it for 6–12 months. The duration of one-month injectable contraceptive use was significantly associated with weight gain. Regular weight monitoring and counseling on healthy lifestyle practices are recommended for long-term users.
