depo-provera
Hello,
I got my first Depo-provera shot on October 18th. That was day 2 of my period. I had unprotected sex last night with someone that I trust...and he came inside of me twice...however now I'm worried about pregnancy. Should I take a Plan B? Was the Depo provera effective?
I think it's just your body reacting to depo.

Sigh see and here I thought depo would be great for me because I was horrible with taking the pill and so many things can mess up the pill and make it not work, so hey a shot every three months? Great! I'm stressing even more about unplanned pregnancy than on the pill -.- ughhhhhhhh I hope were in the clear girlie!
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.
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone out there knows anything about the long term use of Depo-Provera Contraceptive. I have been using it for a few years now, and have no plans of stopping using it anytime soon, as I am in college and will be for quite some time to come. I know that I am putting myself at risk for Osteoporosis by using it for a long time. But what I don't know is considering the fact that since being on Depo, I have had pretty much no menstrual cycle for a very long time.
It is important to take a calcium supplement while using depo provera. Weight gain is probably the worst side effect.
Hope this helps!
m a 19 year old female who was on the Depo Provera shot from summer of 2013 until last November. The depo shot completely took away my periods and even when I quit it in November I didn't get a period until July 2nd of this year. This period was a pretty normal one. Lighter flow than I used to have and it lasted until the 6th of July. Since then I have not had a period. I have taken multiple pregnancy tests, and I always get a negative result. I always have protected sex.
I would suggest that you start doing ovulation predictors once you have a normal period and if you are not ovulating regularly, you could start a medication like Clomid to overcome the after effects of the depo.
Also, you should take lots of vit D and calcium--depo can cause thining of the bone, but that is reversible when you stop it.
Good luck!
I have read what feels like hundreds of stories about the Depo shot and how people have bleed all year with it, or have some of the side effects that the FDA said are pretty uncommon? I am 33 yrs old not children and don't plan on having any. I wanted to use the Depo as a form of birth control so that my boyfriend and I don't have to worry about the possibility of getting pregnant. Is the depo shot as bad as people are saying it is? NEED HELP!!!
Is depo-provera linked with infertility! I am a 24 and at the age of 20, I had 2 injections of depo-provera. Ever since, my period could me counted as almost none except when I am extreamely stress wich happen only 2 times. Other than that, nothing.
I had a physical, inner & outer ultrasound & blood word and everthing was A1. So my doctor thinks I might be infertile.
Before taking depo-provera, my periods were normal.
or, it could be signs of a m/c. Either way, having been on the Depo for b/control myself in the past, and subsequently having problems TTC after it, if you are planning Baby no2 in a few months, I would steer clear of the Depo completely, and use a less harsh means of b/control. I have heard of women who cannot concieve after a year coming off Depo who have children already etc, pointing to the Depo as the reason TTC has failed.
