I've been on Depo Provera for almost a year but i've decided to not get my next shot in two weeks i'm not wanting to get pregnant anytime soon but I'm wondering how long will it take for the Hormones to leave my body and what kind of side effects should I expect?
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.
You can get pregnant anytime once you start getting your periods. After stoppage of Depo-Provera one can become pregnant as soon as three to four months after the last shot. It varies women to women. It may take some women up to a year or two to conceive once they stop using Depovera.It does not depend on how long you have been using Depovera.If you do not get your periods according to the stipulated time it will be best to consult a gynecologist. Do keep us posted.
Take care and regards!

Hi, i have a well grounded education in biology and chemistry, but it seems in the feild of tyhe womens response to hormones i am lacking. My girlfreind recieved the Depo Provera shot, a few days before she was expecting her period, she never got it, and it is now 3 weeks past, i can see how this may be normal, im not sure the exact role of progesterone. The reason i worry is one of pregnancy, allthough i cannot fashion it to be a possibility, anything is supposedly possibly.
Hi I stopped using depo provera in November 2013. I was told it's takes about a month to leave your system. But nothing returns to normal straight away. My period didn't return until may and they were shorter in cycle length. But I've read an awful lot about the depo shots and lots of peoples body's react differently. Most take 6-12 months to return to normal, some goin as far as 18 months.
I was on the depo got off it and didnt have a period for 2 yrs.. ended up having to do fertility treatments of clomid and provera...

Hello all, my wife has been taking depo provera for about 8 months now. After the first shot she gained around 20lbs and since then she has had 2 more shots and has gained around 45lbs. She has about a half a month left until she is supposed to come in for the next shot but we have decided against it. She has been exercising and dieting to no avail. What could we do to help her lose the weight and will it start coming off easier after the shot wears off?
Hello,
Delayed periods, irregular periods and absence of periods can occur after depo shots. They are a form of long form of birth control. If you stop getting Depo-Provera injections, your period usually returns within 3 to 10 months but sometimes it may take 12-18 mths. Your periods and fertility should return soon.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
I suggest that you consult your gynecologist and get yourself examined to rule out other causes of not conceiving as it has been close to 2 years since you have stopped the depo shot and fertility should return by this time.

Hi me and my boyfriend have been trying to conceive for quite some time now and were having no luck because I was on depo and have not gotten my period back and it's been almost eight months since my last shot so I'm having fertility problems. Does anyone know a good fertility drug that works?
Ok when i was 15 my parents made me get the depo provera injection. When i was 17 i refused to take it and i am now 20 and me and my husband have been trying for a little over 2 years to get pregnant but i still haven't been able to. Im scared that the shot has made me infertile. I really want to have a baby. Can someone please give me advice on what to do? Or has anyone else experienced this with the depo shot?
Depo provera is notorious for causing fertility issues. Even if you get your period, it can take up to a year after getting off depo to get pregnant.
Are you late for your period? if you are and the home tests are still negative, wait another week and test again, and if it's still negative then go ask your doctor AGAIN for a blood test because your period is very late and the urine tests are coming up negative.
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the effects of the depo provera do not typically last more than 18 months. After that amount of time had passed, I would then allow one year to pass without any contraception before I would be too concerned. Finally, if that time had passed, I would begin a work up. I start with ovulation predictors and a semen analysis.
I was on birth control pills for 3 years ( stopped taking them 3 years ago) and I was on Depo-Provera for 6 months (stopped getting the needles due to hair loss and constant menses) I stopped depo-provera 26 months ago. At this point my gyn has no clue what to do next and I am getting worried that I will never have a child of my own. What should my next step be, what else can I do?
I am on the depo provera shot for 2 years now and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex for the first time. Could i be pregnant? As of now i am bloated. I dont eat as much as i did before and i have occasional stomach pains and cramps. Normally this wouldn't worry me but my boyfriend was worried when we had sex because usually we use a condom. Also i randomly spot instead of a period. I spotted the whole week and once i had sex i stopped spotting? Should i be worried?
No i havent heard of the fertility blend? I have a 3 yr old son, i have 3 more doses of provera to take and then jus gotta wait for AF, which in the past it comes 5 days after the last one. So i will start taking clomid around april 3 if it comes when it usually does. My dr is having me do the day 21 progesterone check also to see if i ovulate. Im jus praying it works this time around, we want another baby soo bad! I will keep u updated! best of luck to u as well!!

Welcome to the forum! Sometimes after coming off of depo provera one has a period of time before their cycles are completely normal. You very well could just be having a longer than usual cycle. The package insert for depo provera says that fertility is back to normal 6 months to a year after stopping the shots. This is not to say that you aren't pregnant or couldn't get pregnant right now. Every woman is different and will have a unique exerience after discontinuing the shots.
