depo-provera

Ive been on depo for about a year now an at first i had blood clots.coming out now im having heavy bleeding im not sure why never bled this much wirh being on depo what should i do?

any ideas how to stop spotting while on depo provera stillgot one more month till it wears off

I was on the BC shot for 6 years..it gave me a blood clot in my lung..I would advise anyone that's taking the BC shot to stop it immediately..but I'm also not a Dr.

It's March of '11 and I still havent had a period, I didnt have my period, or really ever blot during the use of the Depo Provera, and I've taken tests to see if I'm pregnant but they've came out negative. Is this normal? When should I expect my period?

I picked it up with my hand, it was about as long as my index finger to thumb. I was horrified and disgusted. It was not a large blood clot because it was not blood. I flushed it down the toilet and went to Planned parenthood to tell them what happened. Well, needless to say, I should not have flushed it. The "nurse practitioner" said it must have been the condom my partner used the night before.

Then I was diagnosed with osteopenia, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and NOW depo-induced menopause. Are they all related to depo-provera use? I was taking it for 5 years. In what order do I treat this set of disorders? Why is my jaw the primary target? Will the bone loss stop, reverse? My endocrinologist said I should be taking hormone-replacement therapy, but that's what started me on this road to begin with! Help! I really don't want to have menopause twice. Any suggestions?

I would like to ask if any1 had trouble with Depo Provera shot i took 1 shoot in Aug 2006 and my next shoot was due in Nov 2006 but i did not like it so i told my Doc since i was not with any1 at the time and i did not need the shoot .so she gave me birth control told me to start them that day but i never bc like i said i was not with any1 so i still never started the pill so it took me until jan 08 to start my a period back.

I also know someone who got blood clots from taking the depo shot. It sounds very dangerous and I know there are a lot of doctors who will not prescribe it. Does it cause autism? It's possible, I guess. I doubt it though. You couldn't pay me to go near it though!

I was given a shot of depo-provera yesterday...and when I asked about side affects all I was told was nausea, headache, and dizziness. After reading quite a few articles online, it seems there are a lot more serious side affects than I was led to believe. I've been having lots of chest pain and shortness of breath, but the doctor doesn't seem to think it's related to the shot.

I am 19 years old, and just recently become sexually active with my boyfriend, we used protects and have both been tested, so all is good there. Okay... a week ago I got my depo Provera shot... and since then I have been hungry all of the time and have had cravings for anything sweet, saly, greasy, you name it, I've craved it... I also have been feelings nausiated at times... I am having terrible aches in my legs and arms...

Hi I pass blood clots also.About a year ago i had a pelvic ultrasound and they found blood clots in my uterus and this was caused by being on the depo provera shot for 2 years.I have been passing them for a bout a yaer now.Maybe you should set up an appt with your gy.Im sure they will be able to tell you why your passing blood clots as they did me.Hope everthings alright for you.

After being on depo provera for 1 year, I decided to discontinue use and switch to the pill. I decided to be single (and not sexually active) for a while, so I decided to wait until I got my period to start taking the pill. The only problem is that I STILL haven't had a period! It's been 6 or 7 months since I stopped getting the shots. I had normal periods while on the shot, and before I was on the shot, but once I stopped getting it my periods vanished...

In regards to your big blood clots...I have heard of them alot from my friends and colleagues. Part of it is that the uterus as we grow older loses it ability to contract effectively, or a frequently as it used to. Over time, the uterus get a little "tougher", and not the great muscle it used to be. Also, a few c-sections will do this too. What this means to your period, is the uterus works harder to pass all the blood each month-Mega cramps.

I had a shower and was quite freaked out as my period finished about a week ago, when I got in the shower I felt something and looked down to see a massive blood clot falling out of me (sorry to be so gory!) and I was so scared, it was probably around 6cm long and 2cm wide, another smaller clot also came out at the same time but since thismorning I haven't had any more bleeding it just all seemed to come out at once!

Just passed a blood clot last night that was about the size of the palm of my hand. I believe after my experience last night and what I've been reading on the depo shot, I'll be calling my doc today and getting switched to something different.

My friend was given a depo provera shot during time of conception. She was given one three months later and given one again three months later. So that was three shots. She was always given the urine test first. The third time they called her back after giving the urine test and shot and told her she needed to do the urine test again. Then they told her she was pregnant.

My doctor said the depo shot is now strongly advised against b/c of it's high incidence of causing blood clots in the legs. Hope that helps.

I am 20 years old and had a pacemaker implanted almost eight months ago to correct SVT and A-Fib after two unsuccessful cardiac ablations. I began taking Depo Provera about six months ago. About three weeks ago, I began experiencing sharp chest pain on almost a daily basis; however, it generally subsides after 20-30 minutes. During this time, I can also feel my heart racing. I have heard before that Depo can mess with your heart and lungs. Is this a possibility?

I've never had clots or spotting with this fibroid (my only symptom was incontinence). Is this a clot? Could the DepoLupron be causing this? Are parts of the tumor falling off somehow? Nothing hurt and I haven't had any more of these. I am considering asking the doc about it, but how do you ask a question about a slug-clot that comes out of you know where?

I had been on depo provera for 4 years without any problems. No blood clots. Only minor bone density loss. I discontinued use for about a year and now I have returned to depo. I am very concerned about blood clots. If I didn't have problems while I was on the shot before and on the pill for so long I should be ok correct? I am not a lazy person. I am a college student and I walk at least a mile just going to classes everyday.

I officially am not on the depo provera shot anymore and now i'm having problems. I was on the depo for 3 1/2 years and didn't have a period for the last 2 1/2 years of it. I've been off the shot for about 3 1/2 months. I started my period three weeks ago and i start then stop, start then stop. It isn't very heavy either. I'm now getting sharp pains in my pelvic area. Not like cramps. SHARP pains. Mostly just on the right side of my pelvic area.

-Abnormal Weight gain (8 months ago) -Stretch marks/underarms (8 months ago) -Severe abdominal cramping-- awaken in the middle of the night (7 months ago) -Received 1st Depo Provera Shot (4 months ago) -1st month on shot, no bleeding present, only vaginal dryness (4 months ago) -Heavy/deep bright red colored stretch marks on abdomen and hips.

I was on Depo provera for 2 years after I came off it for one month I fell pregnant...very lucky. My daughter is now 4 and I have been on depo again for those four years. I plan to start trying for baby number two after our wedding in september this year. I recently was due for my injection but decided to give my body a break so I didn't have the injection.

I was supposed to get my next injection on November 30th (2010) but I didnt, because i hadn't had a period since April/May (2010) so I decided to let my body get back to normal. I had a period november 14th (2010) it was really painful but wasn't as much blood as I would expect, I knew I wasn't probably ovulating, Anyways, I didn't get a period December 14th, didn't think I would really.

Have faith. I was on depo for a year and got pregnant while I was still on it. Keep trying and good luck!

Because the depo was still in my system and I just got of BCP's I didnt have a period without the help of provera until Dec 05. I now am almost 21 weeks pregnant. Depo can do strange things to your body and I would seriously do some research on it before deciding to take it. I'm just one person and this was my reaction to the shot but everyones different and Im sure there are some people that have used the Depo shot and not had any side effects. Best of Luck!!

Provera is also prescribed to prevent abnormal growth of the uterine lining in women taking estrogen replacement therapy. Other forms of medroxyprogesterone, such as Depo-Provera, are used as a contraceptive injection and prescribed in the treatment of endometrial cancer. Some doctors prescribe Provera to treat endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, premenstrual tension, sexual aggressive behavior in men, and sleep apnea (temporary failure to breathe while sleeping).

I had my first baby in January of 2006 and I got the depo provera shot 2 days after she was born. It lasted for 3 months, and then I had to get another one... But I decided not to because after I had the baby I gained 50 pounds in 3 months because of the shot. So I went on the pills... 3 months after I stopped the Depo, I was pregnant again! So in my case it didn't take long to conceive after getting the stupid thing. I hope everything works out for you, and you get what your wishing for!!!!!

I only had two shots of depo and after the second one it caused me to have AF for 2 days then off a day and soo one for almost 3 months. My Doctor put me on BCP when I was due for my 3rd shot to help regulate AF because it wasnt getting better. Go to your Dr and tell them whats going on.
