Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera given during pregnancy

depo-provera

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 Depo-Provera is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Pregnancy occurring during the use of the shot is usually an undetected pregnancy before the shot is given. One of the side effects of Depo-Provera is irregular menstrual bleeding. 50% of women will stop getting their period after 1 year of the shot. The period usually returns after stopping the shots, however, it can take 3 months to a year for the effects of Depo-Provera to wear off and fertility to return.
Avatar m tn s nearly December, and today she took a home pregnancy test which showed up with a positive result. Given that depo has such a high protection rate when used correctly, I'm wondering how likely she is to be pregnant? Would it make any difference if she doesn't get the injection every 12 weeks, but is always certain to have it one month prior to us having sex, without fail? Thank you.
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?
Avatar m tn Hello, I have been given my FIRST depo-provera shot earlier this month, and it was not within my cycle - it was the 11th day afterwards. I had unprotected sex the following day, and am very worried I may be pregnant. Since I did not wait the seven days. I am extremely nauseous, getting bad headaches every two-three days, tender breasts, mood swings and today, I had a strong and sharp cramping feeling that lasted for less than thirty seconds, repeated and then stopped.
Avatar n tn Hi. I was 16 days late on my Depo Provera. I got my shot on December 6th. After I had got my shot I been having severe stomach pain. Now I have signs of pregnancy. I also feel little movements in my stomach. I wanted to know if I was pregnant.
286207 tn?1249282027 The only time I took provera was to induce my period but I don't think it's intended to help get pregnant in any way. There are other progesterone supplements that are sometimes prescribed to help sustain a pregnancy but that's given once you've become pregnant. I'm not sure why you were prescribed provera and not sure this was of much help because of it, but I do wish you the best of luck and lots of baby dust. Take care and God Bless.

Avatar n tn My girlfriend started using the depo-provera shot about a month ago. We abstained from sex for a week after the injection just to be safe. Two weeks after the injection we had to make a visit to her family practice doctor because we had a hunch that she had a bladder infection. We were right. The doctor prescribed her to take 250 mg of Ciprofloxacin twice daily and of course Phenazopyridine for the pain.
1714443 tn?1309687971 More than likely she was given depo provera.....if she hasn't gotten the needle again since Feb then it's more than likely worn off by now. http://en.wikipedia.

Avatar n tn it took me nearly 20 months to concieve after depo provera then when i did concieve i m/c at 9 weeks- 7months later still trying to concieve it mucks up your body but everyone is different so you just have to wait and see but i had no problem concieving my first 2 children before the depo.... good luck hopefully you will have better luck than me.
Avatar f tn 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. It is designed to keep your body from ovulating, but it also keeps your cervical mucous thick and thins the lining of your uterus to prevent implantation. Because Depo tends to keep the lining of the uterus thin, this is one of the reasons women generally have lighter periods while taking it.
Avatar f tn I have been receiving the birth control Depo-Provera since the end of January, 2016. However, I was due for an appointment September 24th, 2016. However there is a supposed two week window in which Depo-Provera is supposed to be effective and that window ended October 8th, so just a few weeks ago. However, I got back on birth control 4 days after this two week window ended on October 12th.
Avatar f tn Can the depo-provera shot be given in between periods and still be affective? What would the effects of this be?
902536 tn?1326914250 depo-provera is poison to the body and i know a lot of women on this site will agree with me. I don't think your pregnant though there could be a possibility only a test will tell you if you are or not.
Avatar m tn I just recieved my first Depo Provera shot in dec 07, i did have my period january and feburary. I am 5 days late this month . I took a pregnancy test yesterday it came up negative. Is it possible i could still be pregnant? My Husband and i are not trying to concieve so i dont know what to think im still trying to enjoy my lil one!!!
Avatar f tn I am 27. I was on Depo-Provera for 5 years, and have been off it for 3 years with normal (for me) menstrual cycles. During the past 6 months I have been trying to conceive, with no success. My period usually lasts about 4 days with a light to moderate flow. However, recently (during the past few months) I have been experiencing severe cramping during my period and lower back pain, as well as constant abdominal pain (not severe).
730465 tn?1281609918 I've been having Migraines everyday now and I don't know what causes the migraines? I drink like 1 -2 cups of coffee a day and I'm on the depo provera shot and recently had a baby 3 months ago. I 've never had migrianes like these ones. Should I tell my doctor before i know the causes the migaines or after?
Avatar f tn is it possible to get pregnant if you were in depo provera shots monthly and then you missed the schedule shot?
Avatar f tn i decided to not go on any other birth control for awhile. What are the side effects of coming off the Depo Provera and is it ok to not be on any birthcontrol at all for awhile??
18614560 tn?1466318966 Can the Depo Provera mimic pregnancy perfectly? I took two home tests both came back negative I took a test at a clinic that came back negative and recently I was told I have "the glow" I've had a lot of this pregnancy symptoms but I am unsure if I could be because of the negatives and the Depo Provera.
