depo-provera

Avatar n tn When I finally looked online to find out what was wrong with me (no period for 6 months, difficulty sleeping, incredible hot flashes and night sweats, excessive weight gain, a lot of crying, etc.) menopause kept coming up as one of the possible causes. After extensive testing at my doctor’s office I was told I was menopausal.
Avatar f tn I recently started having hot flashes and I wake up at night sweat profusely. Once I sit outside for a couple minutes I am fine. Also I have noticed since I have been on the shot I am very anxious. I would like someones opinion if their is a way to counteract these side effects or if I should just switch? I just really like the depo because so is very reliable for my-self. Please I would love some opinions.
Monkey Depo Provera injections could cause sweating and/or hot flashes. Hot flashes are actually not uncommon at all, occurring 1-5% of time according to information from the manufacturer, -Dr.
Avatar f tn Irregular menstrual periods, or no periods at all Headaches Nervousness Depression Dizziness Acne Changes in appetite Weight gain Excessive growth of facial and body hair Hair loss Loss of bone mineral density Most of the side effects are not common. Change in the menstrual cycle is the most common side effect. You may experience irregular bleeding or spotting. After a year of use, about 50% of women will stop getting their periods. Their periods usually return when they discontinue the shots.

Avatar n tn How long we're u on depo? I was on it for nearly 12 years & it's taken me 2years for my periods to get back to normal.
Avatar f tn Last Wed they removed my other tube and ovary as well as my uterus and cervix. My doctor put me on the Depo Provera shot to help with the hot flashes. I was wondering if anyone could guide me with all the controversy of the hormones. This happened very quickly for me and I am really struggling with my feelings regarding this. Today has been very hard for me crying not sure why or if it is the fact that the hysterectomy is settling in and is so FINAL.
363110 tn?1340920419 Basically not only did I put on 50lbs, but I got hot flashes and my body acted preggers. I had horrible migraines (i've always had them but they were worse on Depo) and it just screwed my body up for a while. My best friend had it even worse. She put on 50-60lbs and bled for several months straight!
Avatar f tn i have tried everything, from lupron, to laparoscopies, to yaz, to smoking marijuana - currently i am on Depo Provera and have been for the past year and a half. I am noticing a lot of side affects from this as time goes on, and unfortunately for me this has been the only thing that even remotely helps, and i still have a lot of pain.
1305767 tn?1361192676 I saw the gyno in April this year and had a pap and pelvic exam and even a pelvic and abdominal ultra sound. Everything came back normal and the Dr. suggested I try birth control to relieve the bothersome symptoms associated with my period. So that is when I went back on Deop and things seemed to get better. However I had my last shot on Oct. 31 and have been noticing that my pelvic pain, cramps, painful intercourse, and low back aches are returning.
5108300 tn?1371827320 When i feel nausea i get hot flashes and i just want to lay down and i lay down for hours and hours at a time. I also get irregular heart beats and fast heart beats. I was perfectly fine until i got this 3rd injection. Now, I called where i got the shot from and spoke with a nurse there and she said since this is my 3rd injection my body should be use to it. So now i am very stressed out that this is not the depo shot doing this to me.
Avatar f tn *Frequent bathroom trips (urinate) *Sore/Tender breast *Missed/No periods *Dramatic Weight Gain Also, here is useful information: Ive been on the Depo Provera shot for the last 2 months. I have a doctors appointment, but I am very anxious. Please help!
Avatar f tn I am booked in for the 12th of May for another surgery to go in and see how its worked as i hadnt fallen pregnant on Clomid in the last 4 months. I only experienced hot flushes while on the depo shots and felt ok. After i finnished the shots i became regular in ovulating where prior i would only ovulate every other month. Good luck and let me know how yours goes. i will let you know after my surgery if it had cleared most up or only stunted the groth. Baby Dust to you!
Avatar f tn Has anyone experinced hot flashed and red skin on their chest, neck, and/or face while being on the depo? Also, i have been on it for almost 7 years and my body just hurts. My knees have bone on the knee cap, my lower back kills me and i am stiff all the time. I have also gained about 40lbs since i started it and can't get rid of it! I have tried and i watch what i eat.
Avatar f tn My doc mentioned estrogen too, if my hot flashes were too much but I declined. The hot flashes actually went away for about 6 - 8 months and I thought maybe it was a change of climate and also I did some online reading and found that some women say some foods, like spicy foods might trigger hot flashes so I limited my diet. They're back now though and I'm not sure why except I am back to eating more variety in foods, even spicy foods.
801413 tn?1333539276 yeah I was hoping to do that. Does anyone else get hot flashes? when I feel like a period may be coming on I get hot and crampy and this only ever happens at night... whats with that? I've started wearing shorts to bed instead of pajama pants (I can't sleep naked or I would) so its easier to cool down when I wake up in the middle of the night. And this has been happening since before metformin... Good thing about met though, it makes me so sleepy my insomnia is tapering off...
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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?
384896 tn?1335294331 not sure about the breast feeding part but a lot of women on this site might agree with me to stay clear of depo-provera. I was on this bc for 2 and a half years and have been ttc for the same length of time with no joy. I was diagnosed with depression at 16 years old when i was on this, i asked the doc if that was the problem and was told no, when the depo eventually cleared from my system so did the depression my family say i was a new person.
Avatar f tn m outside the normal range of time after stopping Depo Provera to have gotten my periods back. Could Depo be causing these problems or does it sound like something else could be a problem?
Avatar f tn In order to get pregnant though, you need to not only be ovulating but you also need to be producing fertile cervical mucous and a thick uterine lining after you ovulate. The reason Depo-Provera is so long lasting is because of the way it works. The levels of DMPA (the synthetic hormone in Depo-Provera) gradually increase over a three week period, at which time they reach their peak levels. After three weeks the DMPA levels begin to decrease exponentially.
