Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera how soon is it effective
depo-provera
Personally, I liked Depo because it was easy to maintain the scheduled appointments every 3 months. Also, it is extremely effective when it comes to preventing pregnancy. One thing I did not like, was the weight gain and fatigue I experienced... It really comes down to how each woman is affected by their dose of Depo they receive; everyone has similar experiences, but may experience different levels of side effects...
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?
Thank you!
Do you know the general side effects of it? Like if i get the shot now at the beginning of my period, when would I see my next period and know that I'm not pregnant?
It actually took me over another year after my period returned before, I finally became pregnant. The depo-provera shot is extremely effective. So much so, that it actually is a bad choice of contraceptive if you actually want to get pregnant within 2 years of the shot, because it takes that long for your body to return to normal. If you are still unsure, ask her doctor.

If you were my patient, i would advise you that the depo provera injection can be an excellent method of birth control. It is 99% effective and requires only that the patient have 4 injections per year. It is important to take a calcium supplement while using depo provera. Weight gain is probably the worst side effect.
Hope this helps!
How effective is the depo provera birth control shot? ( Is it 'ok' to do it without a condom every once in a while, WITHOUT him going inside me?

Depo Provera is effective birth control for 3 months. I'm not sure how long it takes to completely leave your system. You may want to contact your doctor, tell him/her of your complaints and decide on another birth control option when it's time you can make the switch. Best wishes!
I got pregnant on depo during the first month...
Depo is pretty effective. Most likely, these are side effects from the Depo, but you might want to contact your health care provider and have a check up just to be sure.
Also, even when using Depo or the pill...I highly recommend condoms. Condoms not only offer additional protection against pregnancy, they also help prevent sexually transmitted infections. You or your partner can have an infection and not know it...and unknowingly pass it on.
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. The doctor advised me to use a condom in the first week and I go ahead like an airhead and have sex that SAME day, unprotected. While my fiance used the 'pull-out' ' method knowing basic biology, it is still possible to get pregnant.
As for the weight gain it is true but here is how it breaks down (as recently told to me by my gyno). The depo shot has a tendency to make you hungrier than usual. So, it's not arbitarily making you gain weight, it's what you put in your mouth that makes you gain weight. I didn't have any hair loss while I was on it. For me, it was the best solution at the time as I am horrible at remembering to take pills too. I'm using Nuvaring now. Hope this helps some.
Quick question... which Depo are you on? There are two kinds, that I'm aware of: Depo Provera or Depo Lupron.
I had tried the Provera when I was about 16 for about a year. I had to stop because I could not handle the side effects any longer. I did spot for about 3 months. It usually takes a few months for your system to get used to it.
The Lupron stops your period completely and basically puts your body into menopause, which is the one I am currently on.
i am and have been taking birth control (depo Provera) for a while but i stopped taking it and started taking it again and now i have the side effect of bleeding all the time and bleeding during sex. does this in any way increase my chances of getting pregnant? and how likely is it that i would become pregnant while taking the birth control shot?
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?
t think you could be preg. Depo is very very affective, but if u do want to get preg then u should get off depo cause it messes u up. I was on depo for a year and a couple of months and I didn't get my period at all and now I. Off depo ad still haven't gotten my period. Me and my boy friend are TTC but I don't think I can cause I haven't had a period.
Right after we started getting serious though I made the appointment with my doctor to start depo provera injections which I had taken in the past for about a year and a half. They said it would take about 7 days for it to become completely effective but we had unprotected sex on the third day. I took Plan B the same afternoon just to be safe but currently my period is five days late. I took a pregnancy test today which came out negative which was very reassuring.
