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 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.
Avatar m tn Hi there, Depo vera is injected every 12 weeks while the contraceptive has the power to prevent conception up to 14 weeks, the injections are usually given every 12 weeks to ensure that there is no gap in the effectiveness of the birth control between shots. If such a schedule is maintained, pregnancy while on Depo-Provera is extremely rare. Since your girlfriend was not on taking it regularly there might have been a period when she had sex while not on depo.
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 n tn I had not had my period in 5 months and my gyno put me on provera. I really want to conceive but I dont know how long it usually takes. Am i able to get pregnant right after taking provera? ( I have had my period for 4 days now) thanks!!
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.
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 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 was a little worried the last couple of days about being pregnant so I took a Home Pregnancy Test and it was negative. Being on Depo birth control would not effect a home pregnancy test would it? I made an appointment for Friday.
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??

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 I think i am pregnant but i am on the depo provera shot. Is that possible and if it is will the shot affect the fetus? I would be a month and some now and i have been having unprotected sex for two months.
Avatar f tn I have a history of anxiety and depression. Is depo-provera a good choice or a bad choice for birth control? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I have had the depo provera shot once and never went back for the second one October 1st. I wanted to know if I should have had my period by now?
Avatar m tn I just got a shot of depo-provera birth control 3 days ago and my period was supposed to start yesterday and it hasn't. I am sexually active and the last time I had sex was on my period last month and we used condoms but I wasn't on birth control and my partner did not go all the way. I just went to the GYN and got my annual pelvic exam and my first shot of depo and so far everything has been okay.
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 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 Yrs ago when I was on depo provera I had irregular light periods and after a few months they were non existant till I stopped getting the shots.
