depo-provera
Sorry if i'm not putting this on the right section. i'm new here. i'm 24 years old lady from Bangladesh and suffering from right ovarian cyst which is approximately 5.8 cm × 5.3 cm. I've one child who is 8 years old. My CA 125 level is gradually increasing. On 7th January it was 28.64 U/ml. On 6th February it was 125 U/ml. I took Injection Depo provera on January according to my gynaecologist advise.
I am 22 1/2 years old. I have two children ( 1 & 2 1/2). I had an Essure ( permenant birth control) procedure done on September 4th 2007. prior to that ( august 29) i had a Depo-prevera shot. After the surgery I started bleeding. I still have not stopped besided maybe a day here and a day there. It has went between spotting to heavy ( 1 pad every hour) bleeding. My big concern is, When I was 17 I had an abnormal pap smear and then a LEEP biopsy.
I have had the same pain for years. I started Depo Provera birth control...which stops your period and keeps cysts from growing any larger and sometimes they reduce in size. I know from my exp.that it has helped a ton with the pain. I don't know how old your are but the Depo Provera shot does rob bones of calcium...so soon I will switch my birth control to Lybrel...it also stops your period. Good luck to you...I hope this helps you.
Unfortunately in November 2006 that ovary turned malignant as well and I had to have it removed and due to the fact that it was my second bout of cancer, and they still to this day cannot determine whether it was a new spontaneous cancer or a recurrance (I think this is because of the previous good pathology, and the fact that there was squamous cell on the outside capsule of the ovary) I had chemotherapy and radiation treatment with it completing in July 2007.
I am currently in remission.
I was on depo for a year and a few months stopped it and began planning for a child. I was told it can take up to a year however at eight months post depo I got my periods back, two months later I got my bfp. So it just deffers from person to person. If you think you could already be pregnant test four to five weeks after possible conception.
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.
My doctor and I decided it was best to stop the depo provera so I am getting off of birth control and we will wait and see what my hormones do at that point.
I went to the ER today to try to get some answers because I feel no one is taking me serious and they treated me as if I was crazy because I had 3 panic attacks while there. They did run a CT scan and it came back normal.
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.
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.
I was on depo provera and gained 40 pounds in 6 months... my dr. told me that the hormones that are in it mess with your body bad... If i were you i would get off it and try a differnt means of birth control... It has also been proven to increasse your chance of Osteoporosis!
I also had the same problem as you... almost spotting for 3 months, when that happened (along with the weight gain) my dr. made me get off it...
Hi, Backround on me 26yr F with PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome
I got a Kidney infection back in 0ct 08 and was hospitalized twice. they put me on something like smp/tmp for 2wks. I started to feel better about 2 days later and then got worse again. They then said i had a yeast infection from medication. and put me on Cipro, and still had pain.. so then they put me on for a irriated urtheia (sorry my spelling isn't to great) I was on this for 2x a day for 30 days.
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.
One thing I noticed during my internet search was a number of results discussing Depo Provera and how it has caused the onset of early menopause in women even in their 20’s.
Has anyone else heard about this, and if so, are there other resources I can review to get more information on this correlation? Thanks, I just have to know what is causing this!
By January of 2009 I had cysts in my ovaries again. I took birth control pills, and depo provera shots to try to shrink the cyst and nothing worked. In July 2009 I had my left ovary and tube removed. Now, just two months after my surgery I'm have pain in the lower, right side of my pelvis. I'm very frustated, I don't know if I should see my GYN or see my family doctor in regards of this new pain I'm having.
