depo-provera

Avatar m tn In the spring of 2012 my wife started the birth control shot Depo Provera as a treatment for fibroid tumors. The side affects were terrible. She went from being someone with boundless energy to being tired all the time. She went from having a very healthy sex drive to having none at all. She gained about 75lbs, despite having and continuing abnormally healthy eating and exercise habits. Even her personality changed.

3113005 tn?1341773834 I am little confused by your question. The depo provera shot is given once every three months not for three months at some unspecified interval. If you mean that you received the depo shot 4 months ago, and hence, the last month, you did not get a repeat depo shot, then the answer to your question is, yes, you can get pregnant. I was on the depo shot for about 5 years before stopping to try to conceive. It took me 3 years to conceive my son who is 6 years old.

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?
1591347 tn?1299082387 I am a 26 year old woman and about two years ago I stopped getting the depo provera shot. I have a medical history of irregular periods and by the time I stopped getting the depo provera shot I had been taking birth control on and off since I was 18 years old. Currently I bleed almost completely all month long. It stops for a day or two and then starts up again. It's not very heavy about 90% of the time, but occassionally it is heavy. I weigh about 360 lbs.
Avatar f tn If you were using Depo-Provera it may take longer for your cycles to return to normal. Keep in mind that Depo-Provera is designed to be a long-lasting form of birth control. Even though it is intended to help you avoid pregnancy for up to three months, it may actually prevent pregnancy longer. Depo-Provera is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone.
Avatar f tn t , but I would try the provera because that may make u get ur period longer and heavier to shed the excess lining which is what you need, but a d and c is also doing the same thing just with surgery and most women who have do fall pregnant faster, but without insurance find out how much it would cost or see if your state or city as free insurance or cheap insurance that you can afford
Avatar n tn I haven't seen a doctor about it in over a year. I'm currently without insurance (got laid off from work). Hope to get insurance soon. Just wondering if this could be serious and I shouldn't wait for insurance.
Avatar m tn Im not sure if I should be concerned enough to go see a physican, given I dont have insurance. Also, I had been on the birth control Depo for the past 4 years. I discontinued it last may, and my period still hasnt returned. Could this be a side effect from the depo? Thanks for any help.

Avatar f tn I received my first depo provera shot in march 2010, my last shot was in april 2011. While I was on Depo I had a period every 3 months right before I was due for my next shot. I was due for my last shot in July but Decided I wanted to stop taking birth control. I got my period as expected and then didn't get the shot. A week later i got my period again, and then about 2 or 2 1/2 weeks i got my period again. Now it has been about 5 weeks without a period.
Avatar f tn I missed a dose of Depo provera by 7 days now. I know that I am not pregnant due to no intercourse. My question is do I still have to wait until I get a cycle? What if I dont have a cycle for several months, in the past my cycle was abnornal to begin with. If I have the depo without being on my cycle will I still be protected? I started the depo Aug. 2008. And had never missed a dose until this time. My dose was due May 1, 2009. Can anyone help me with this???
Avatar m tn Hi, my girlfriend lives overseas and she's on depo provera. She gets the shot once or twice a year only (not every 12 or 13 weeks). She has it injected one month in advance, every time before I travel overseas to visit her and have sex. I know depo provera meant to provide over 99% protection after 7 days, but we like to be extra cautious and wait a month before having sex. She had her last shot in September, and I visited her nearly a month later in October.
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 They can also give you depo-provera shots that will put you into menopause but it has a lot of side effects. I had a large fibroid tumor that my doc wanted to shrink in order to remove it with laparoscopy versus a major surgery. This was about 20 years ago. They gave me depo-provera shots for three months that shrunk the tumor but also put me in menopause temporarily.
Avatar f tn When I was 16 my parents put me on the depo provera shot. I was on it till 2 months before my 18th birthday. Now I havent been on any birth control and me and my fiance have been trying to have a baby since I quit taking the shot and still cant get pregnant. Is it possible that the depo provera made me infertile??
Avatar f tn No, because Depo Provera only suppresses ovulation. False negatives are produced when a woman tests for pregnancy before the embryo has had the proper amount of time to implant into the uterus and begin producing hcg. With this pregnancy I tested on a monday and got a negative, then I tested on a wednesday and got all positives. The negative test was only because I tested too early.
Avatar f tn Recently, Me and My Boyfriend had un-protected sex.. and afterwards i started bleeding. we haven't had sex in a week, what could time be a sign of.. I am on Depo Provera-the birth control shot?
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.
