Avatar f tn My lmp was 10/01 I got the depo shot on 10/18 but was also taking antibiotics after a wisdom teeth extraction. Has anyone else known or experienced a pregnancy while on the depo shot? Is it possible for me to be pregnant right now?
10225282 tn?1409054445 So Im 16 and on the depo shot but have been taking antibiotics, and i have had sex and I think im pregnant. Its been almost a week. Any help?
Avatar n tn Antibiotics usually counteract birth controls. Don't know about any test to "verify" Depo has been taken. If you have a girlfriend and she claims to have had the shot, Depo is still not 100% effective at preventing pregnancy on its own. And it definitely doesn't protect against STDs.

Avatar n tn My girlfriend started using the depo-provera shot about a month ago. We abstained from sex for a week after the injection just to be safe. Two weeks after the injection we had to make a visit to her family practice doctor because we had a hunch that she had a bladder infection. We were right. The doctor prescribed her to take 250 mg of Ciprofloxacin twice daily and of course Phenazopyridine for the pain.
Avatar f tn Hi. I was on the depo shot for two years I just recently stopped taking it about 4 months ago. I have had my period for a little over a month. I also, feel like I have to pee but when I go nothing comes. Should I be concerned? Should this be normal a month long period? I also gained 50 pounds.
Avatar f tn I had my first depo shot in October 2010. I'm due for another in January 2011. I noticed I've been gaining weight. But I also have odd cravings for things I wouldn't normally crave, feel sick to my stomach, and I'm more tired than usual. Is it possible I could be pregnant? Are there any medications that reduce effectiveness of the depo shot? I'm also in the process of weaning myself off of Cymbalta. Maybe it's withdrawal symptoms from that?
Avatar f tn So I've been on depo for 9.months now and got my renewal shot and antibiotics for 10 days on the same day, how long should I wait before having unprotected sex? How will they effect eachother????
Avatar f tn Unlike the pill that is not affective while on an antobiotic...the depo shot doesn't leave your system untill you have missed a shot. But if you ever feel you could be pregnant...take a test. You are only 100% protected if you don't have sex.
Avatar f tn I am on Depo been for about a year and was recently on antibiotics.. Had sex during that timeframe and now my stomach has been nauseated,tight and slightly crampy. Decreased appetite and slight constipation. Not due for my depo shot until Nov. 7th. Have some dark brown discharge for 2 days. Was wondering if any depo users have experienced this bc it is very new to me. Or if anyone has gotten pregnant on the shot?
Avatar f tn I recently had my first depo birth control shot and had to get on antibiotics for a week. How long must I wait to have unprotected sex and not get pregnant?
1815045 tn?1316798844 So I used to take the depo provera shot awhile back but i got off it due to the violent mood swings i was having; And I never got back on it and ending up having a kid, and then me n his father broke up and i never got another partner so I never needed to get back on birth control... Well I got with a new partner so I began taking the depo provera again and this time things are going smooth bled for the first 2 weeks and then the bleeding stopped.
Avatar n tn My questions are how slim of a chance would it be to get pregnant while still on the depo and how long after could it take for me to get pregnant. Advice is much needed.
Avatar n tn // My fiance don't even really wanna have sex with me anymore until I stop bleeding. I just want to know when the hell its gunna stop????? and I want to know if its gunna mess me up on getting pregnant one day???? Also it has caused me to have very bad headaches when I first wake up is that normal ?????? I think any negative affects are deff. from the depo there is nothing good about it period.
Avatar m tn I conceived my youngest son on the depo shot. However, the shot can cause your body to act in weird ways. I know when I first got the depo shot, I was tired all the time, crabby but honestly with me thats nothing new lol, and it can cause you to gain weight. I knew a woman who gained 50 pounds in 3 months on depo....she ate all the time. I never really had any side effects, I actually lost weight on depo, went from a size 5 to a size 3 in a year. I was on the shot for about 3 years.
Avatar f tn Hey, I am worried that I might be pregnant. I got my first ever depo shot around March 9th of this year, it's now April 11th , a little more than a month after my shot and I am experiencing pregnancy symptoms as described below.: slightly more visible blue veins in my breasts, lower arms,hands, and upper chest (above my breasts). Just in these past few days I've felt fatigued, my appetite has increased a lot, i feel bloated, a little dizzy, and moody.
Avatar f tn depo gives you a lot of crappy symptoms:/ I got pregnant while on depo. so its possible but its good you took a blood test hope all is well!!
Avatar n tn I hated the Depo shot. Absolutely hated it. I used it for a year and in that year I was on my period for 9 out of 12 months. Not 9 months in a row, but my period came and went. At one time I had a 21 day period, then was off it for 4 days and then had an 18 day period. Doc said it was just the shot affecting my cycle, but come on! I was bleeding a total of 9 months over the entire year!! That's ridiculous!
Avatar f tn By march 2013 I stopped taking the pills and had a depo shot instead. I got sick and took very strong antibiotics for only four days. (they said the effectiveness of the depo shot will lessen if you take antibiotics, is that true?). on the the depo shot my period hasnt been regular, had spotting almost everyday till now:( I took diet pills by the end of march till april. ive been having unprotected sex since December-April because of the contraceptives.
Avatar f tn It could be a side effect of the shot. How long have you been on the depo shot? or it could be irritation, a cut inside of you, sign of an STD, etc.
Avatar n tn The only advice I can offer u is I was on the depo for 5 yrs every month sometimes e ery 3 months I would get a soft brown period that would last a few days.. Every 3 months I was getting a bleed and my doctor said that instead of getting my injection every 12 weeks to get it every 10 weeksand that would stop the bleeding because the bleeding was the depostarting to wear off..
Avatar m tn hi im 19 years old and been on the depo shot almost a year i got my 4th shot in january and about a couple od weeks ago i started bleeding and i havent stopped yet i get my next shot on april 23rd and i was wondering how long your period can last while on the depo shot if anybody can help that would be helpful thanks
Avatar f tn even if Im on the depo shot??
Avatar f tn It is important to take a calcium supplement while using depo provera. Weight gain is probably the worst side effect. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Has anyone been able to get pregnant after getting off the depo shot? I been on it for 2 1/2 years got off like seven months ago. Now me n the hubby are trying to have a baby but I been hearing from alot of people that they havent been able to get pregnant.. I'm super worried now. Hope someone has had luck.
