depo-provera

4364093 tn?1365869659 Thanks :) im only 20 weeks but was just thinking about it.
Avatar f tn I don't think you could be preg. Depo is very very affective, but if u do want to get preg then u should get off depo cause it messes u up. I was on depo for a year and a couple of months and I didn't get my period at all and now I. Off depo ad still haven't gotten my period. Me and my boy friend are TTC but I don't think I can cause I haven't had a period.
Avatar f tn i decided to not go on any other birth control for awhile. What are the side effects of coming off the Depo Provera and is it ok to not be on any birthcontrol at all for awhile??
Avatar f tn I know you posted this post a while ago but do you know all the facts about depo-provera. I was on it for 2 and a half years and came off it to ttc in aug 08 i am still trying 18 months later as the depo made me infertile, it could take 2 years for the depo alone to leave your system. I would strongly suggest if yu haven't already find a different contraception and i know a lot of women will agree with me on this site!!
Avatar n tn To be sure go to a planned parenthood place or to her gynecologist and get a ultrasound done. You can get pregnant on the Depo Provera shot.
1636874 tn?1311547431 I've had protected sex with condoms not even a week ago. I'm planning on getting the Depo shot this Friday, the 18th of March, and I'm a bit of worry wort. I was wondering, with the slight chance of me being pregnant, if I got the shot not even a week after "conception". Would it spontaneously abort? Would it hurt me? Would it keep the baby but give it birth defects? I'm not really sure and I would like my question answered because I am very worried.
Avatar f tn So I started Depo provera 2 weeks and 2 days ago and I had unprotected sex 7 days after the shot and I was worried and called my docter to see if.it.was going to be effective they said yes cuz its been a week & I jus had unprotected sex again the second week after taking depo but dis time he cummed in me but im kind kind of worried should I be? Ive felt growls in tummy I feel naseus somtimes & the day before yesterday I ate once & didnt wana eat again...
Avatar f tn Most likely, these are side effects from the Depo, but you might want to contact your health care provider and have a check up just to be sure. Also, even when using Depo or the pill...I highly recommend condoms. Condoms not only offer additional protection against pregnancy, they also help prevent sexually transmitted infections. You or your partner can have an infection and not know it...and unknowingly pass it on.
Avatar m tn I just went to the GYN and got my annual pelvic exam and my first shot of depo and so far everything has been okay. However, once I didn't get my period I started to worry and I took a pregnancy test just in case and it did come out negative. But I'm still freaking out since I am only 18 and really do not want to be pregnant. So is it normal to be late for your period after getting the shot? or should I take another test? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Is it ok to skip a depo shot due this month and get it after 3 month to reduce the risk of losing bone density?
Avatar n tn has taken me off the Depo Shots and I was put on Birth Control Pills. The blood was very dark red and blood clots. I was given an altrsound was told nothing was wrong. Is this normal with the Depo Provera?
Avatar n tn Only a penis in vagina will cause pregnancy and you wisely used condoms. Use them correctly and every time and you are likely to not get pregnant. Although all birth control does have a small fail rate. You could also go on the pill and between condoms and the pill, you're as safe as you can get. But otherwise, the condoms should work to prevent pregnancy for you and I'm so glad you are using them.
Avatar f tn Was this your very first shot? I was only on it not even a year and we would use condoms or he would pull out. Other than that I've never done birth control.
Avatar f tn For the last year or so almost everytime my boyfriend ejaculates inside me during sex I immediately get this extreme burning sensation that can last anywhere from one day to 5 days. Along with the burning is a swollen vagina, extreme burning with urination and it looks like the skin around my vaginal opening is white, like the skin has been singed. And after it heals everything is very itchy for days. have no problems if my boyfriend pulls out.
902536 tn?1326914250 I was told in some women it could take up to 1 year for it to leave your system and another year to conceive in all honesty i HATE depo-provera and will never take it again for as long as i live
Avatar n tn You 47 but until you go through menopause, it is responsible for you to use the ovulation chart in conjunction with condoms or spermacide cream to prevent pregnancy, once you are off the Depo. Thanks for being so responsible about reproduction!
Avatar n tn I'm not on depo provera I am just taking the tablet everyday. I haven't missed a tablet and I'm on the highest does to stop bleeding, and I would not have a clue when my period would occur in the month as I was all over the place and had extremely long ones such as 48days. Yeah I had unsafe sex but he pulled out a little while before anything happend... how long after falling pregnant would I start to have symptoms though?
Avatar f tn I have a history of anxiety and depression. Is depo-provera a good choice or a bad choice for birth control? Thank you!
Avatar f tn i have been on depo provera for about a year now, and i have beeb so bloated an been havin sharp pains in my stomach, also have noticed i have been urinating alot. im not sure what to think about it. me and my bf have been using condoms LATELY , but there has been many times where we havent... idk wht to do! help?
Avatar f tn Im 28 and have never been pregnant slightly overweight but not too concerred and getting it back down periods were always regular and pain free went on for birth control, my husband has 1 child already and decided to start are own family.
851261 tn?1238978492 It can take 6-12 months for your body to regulate after giving birth, especially if you're breastfeeding. Depo Provera, from my limited understanding, is an effective birth control but with any birth control you must use a second method (such as condoms or diaphragm or something else). You can take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after the time you believed you conceived.
Avatar f tn I am on the depo provera shot for 2 years now and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex for the first time. Could i be pregnant? As of now i am bloated. I dont eat as much as i did before and i have occasional stomach pains and cramps. Normally this wouldn't worry me but my boyfriend was worried when we had sex because usually we use a condom. Also i randomly spot instead of a period. I spotted the whole week and once i had sex i stopped spotting? Should i be worried?
Avatar n tn Hi, I am not sure of what type of antibiotic might affect other contraceptives like the pill, but I am pretty sure that she will be fine on the shot. I myself had the depo-provera shot about 10 years ago. I only had one shot and I didn't have a period until a whole year later. It actually took me over another year after my period returned before, I finally became pregnant. The depo-provera shot is extremely effective.
2184791 tn?1337896617 Hmm its common you dnt get your period on the depo provera because somee might experience spotting or light period or no period at all ...you will be fine dont be scared and pain may be just from the sex not the shot..is this your first time using depo?
Avatar f tn s no way to tell for sure, but more and more proof is coming out that autism is NOT linked to vaccines, and because depo provera is an active hormone shot and not a vaccine, I highly doubt that it is the cause. Are your other children girls by any chance? Very often a family that has an autistic child only has 1 (almost always a boy), and the rest of the children are "normal". They are thinking more and more that it's a genetic mutation.
