Depo provera men

Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera men

depo-provera

After being on depo provera for 1 year, I decided to discontinue use and switch to the pill. I decided to be single (and not sexually active) for a while, so I decided to wait until I got my period to start taking the pill. The only problem is that I STILL haven't had a period! It's been 6 or 7 months since I stopped getting the shots. I had normal periods while on the shot, and before I was on the shot, but once I stopped getting it my periods vanished...

depo shots are not for men.. they would never be given it by a doctor.. its only contraception for women...

I have been on depo for 11 years. I would be due for my next shot on 9/27 but my Doctor has advised that I stop having it. She has been treating me for migraines and depression with Imitrex (when needed) and a daily dosage of Prozac of 10mg. The Imitrex thankfully, works, and the migraines have also been lessened by the Prozac.

The gyno suggested taking depo-lupron to put the ovaries to sleep to see if that helps. Does this sound like endometriosis?

In addition, a woman’s genital tract should be free of any abnormalities to allow the passage of menstrual blood Why is Provera prescribed? Provera is derived from the female hormone progesterone. You may be given Provera if your menstrual periods have stopped or a female hormone imbalance is causing your uterus to bleed abnormally. Provera is also prescribed to prevent abnormal growth of the uterine lining in women taking estrogen replacement therapy.

I look forward to getting my body back again! My BF didn't know it was the Depo making me fat, so while I was on depo provera I starved myself on strict diets, exercised like crazy,Went to a hollywood weight loss doc, took HCG weight loss shots and prescription weight loss pills, even cut out fats, lowered my calories to 500 a day, and GAINED WEIGHT! My GYN told me the Depo was making me fat. Told me to to stop it ASAP and stop eating any white foods(no sugar,potatoes,bread, and esp.

I have been off of it for almost a month and I have had no signs of a cycle. This is my second time using depo and the first time I came off of depo I had my period within 3 weeks. This time nothing. What should I expect? If its not the same as last time.

If you are pregnant your baby is in somewhat in danger by you being injected with the Depo Provera just a couple of months ago. I would make me an appointment at the local clinic or your ob/gyn. Explain to them what is going on. Obviously if your taking the shot you don't want to be pregnant. Your body has to be on a perfect hormonal balance for the egg to implant and survive.

I AM CURRENTLY TAKING PROVERA TO BRING ON MY PERIOD AND THEN GOING TO BE TAKING 150 MG OF CLOMID DAYS 5-9 AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN OFF OF THE DEPO SHOT FOR ALMOST 2 YRS AND MY CYCLE HAS YET TO COME ON ITS OWN SINCE BEING OFF THE SHOT! DID ANYONE HAVE SUCCESS AT 150 MG OF CLOMID?

Do you know if the mini pill is associated w/ heavy bleeding like Depo Provera? I took Depo Provera when I was 17, and it made me feel WEIRD. I had migraines, and a lot of spot bleeding.... Are there any brand names for the mini pill, or is it just called "the mini pill"? I don`t know much about it... Thanks....

Remember doctors are humans too, and sometimes they forget that we are not doctors, and cannot afford some of these costly procedures, especially if they are not needed. I was on Lupron-Depo and Depo-Provera, Lupron is like a pseudo-menopause, some (not all cause we are all different) have night sweats, mood-changes etc. I did not notice such problems and Lupron worked short term for me. However longer term I was on Depo-Provera. It work fine.

I've been crying myself to sleep for the past 3 weeks now. This idea of giving endo patients Depo Lupron is a mistake. Who in their right mind would think it's normal to put a 23 year old in menopause?! So now I have to go through menopause not once but twice? Why is it that a doctor can give you 2 options to "cure" the endo... have a baby or get a hysterectomy?! Especially when you've been told that you will not have children. Endo is a slow emotional killer.

First off, yes going off of any hormonal birth control can mess up your cycles. When I came off of Depo Provera, my cycles were all over the map for 2 or 3 months at least. And if you have been using protection, it is unlikely she is pregnant, providing you are using it properly. If she is a week late,there is a small possibility she is pregnant. Regardless, taking a home pregnancy test right now will at least serve to put your mind at ease, the wondering and worrying are always the worst.

My PCP felt my Prozac, which I take for chronis pain, may be the culprit, but I was weaned off of it about 3 weeks ago. The only other meds I take are flexeril for nighttime pain, a multivitamin, and DepoProvera every 3 months for birth control. I don't know what else to do.

(None with STDs or STIs, but know a lot about them, too.) 1.) Is your new birth control the depo provera shot? That CAUSES irregularity in bleeding. 2.) Even if it's not depo, yes, your body COULD be reacting to the new introduction of hormones. 3.) If you just are recovering from a yeast infection, YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE A TAMPON!!!! YOU CAN CAUSE THE YEAST TO STAY AND MULTIPLY EVEN IF IT'S ALMOST GONE!!!!! 4.

have that drink girl!!!!!!!! I will drink one for ya!

I was on Depo Provera (the shot) until Nov 04, when I was suppose to go for my next one. But it was screwing my body up I opted for BCP's and took them until Aug 05 when Hubby and I decided TTC. Well I never had a period after stopping BCP's so I was given Provera in Dec 05 and got a period...well in Jan same thing no period so I took Provera again...and got a period. The end of Feb I found out I was pregnant. Many women take provera and then clomid.

Went to my GP last week and he gave me more oxycontin controlled release,1 every 12 hours and as these are only lasting about 6 hours, he also gave me endone to take in between. I also have to take 2 panadol every 4 hours. I also had my first depo provera shot this week.It was the 4th day of my period and my period was very heavy, but the next day I had only a few spots of bleeding and today it is a little bit of brown spotting.

They have no idea how dangerous sex is and what all can happen!! Has any1 watched that movie called Children Of Men? It's how in the future no1 has been able to have kids for 18 yrs!! Every1 is infertile EVERY1!! And i hate to say it but my DH could be right all the chemicals they are putting in B/C is really bad and something like this could just possibly happen one day!! Ok thats my input and gripe!! Feel free to read the article and post comments!!

I began taking Depo Provera in March of 2004 and had my last shot in June of 2004. I began my menstrual cycle in September 25th of 2004. I have been try to have a baby ever since. I wanted to know does that mean that I have began to ovulate and I can now conceive a baby?

Ive been having irregular periods within the last few years due to depo provera. I was on it for almost 7 years since 1999; got off in 2006 to let my body adjust to normality. I was "living the single life" with protection but sometimes I wonder if there would be some kind of men would be spiteful or loving enough to end my carreer with getting me pregnant without my concent? Just like there women out there who would do that to men out there which I'd never do without thier concent..

However when women hit menpause they usually don't get them anymore. Is provera a hormone (like depo-provera)? My doc put me on Ovcon35. It seems like it is all just trial & error.

My husbads latest therory is the fact i haven't had a period in like 6 years.. i was on Depo Provera for a long time and now the Nuva Ring.. I use the ring continuously and skip periods.. been doing that for like a year.. My sex drive has been shot for about 3 year or so.. i though it was the pills.. now i have been off but its not any better.. i am gonna get my testoterone checked.. and other hormone levels... I started seeing an acupunturist for this... so far hasn't helped..

I took the Depo-Provera shot 2-3 times...I experienced loss of desire and hair loss. Have you been taking any kind of meds for any reason? That could have a lot to do with it..How old is your youngest? Sometimes for awhile after having a baby can affect you, especially if you could be worried about getting pregnant or something.

My only concern is that if I don't ovulate my uterine lining could become dangerously too thick again and I would have to take provera to get af. When you don't ov, you don't get a true period and thus my lining built up in the past and I was told this is a pre-cursor to uterine cancer.

I also had months where my periods were out of whack due to being on depo-provera and then coming off of it after 2 and a half years. Just be careful and make sure your protected if you don't want to conceive or catch any STD's.

They finally did the first surgery when I became borderline anemic. Endometriosis was the diagnosis. I rebounded well from anemic then they gave me the depo provera shot and gained 50 (not kidding, 50) pounds. The doc then sent me to a fertility doc in Shreveport and I had to take depo lupron (back then I heard it was used to chemically castrate men and used to put women in chemical menopause) and I had to take 6 months of that shot.

i just started taking fertilaid the other day actually cause i just got off depo and had alot of side effects with it and trying to balance my hormones out, but anyways my sister in law is 10 weeks pregnant, they have been trying for a looong time, she did use fertilaid because her periods were comming at all different times or not at all, soon as she started taking it the next month and from then on she was regular and helped her get pregnant cause she could actually figure out when she was ovu

When I was your age I was on depo-provera. I had already gotten pg twice (lost both) through condoms and knew my limitations when it came to remembering pills. Depo had only been available in the US for a short while and it seemed perfect for me. It ended up being a wonderful form of BC for me. I didn't develop any of the "bad" side effects, I kept my sex drive, didn't gain weight, didn't have a period for 3.5 years, it was a perfect fit for me.

im 19 years old!!! i was on the depo-provera shot for two years straight, and recently, in January stopped the injections to take a break. it took about 3 months for me to get a period. they've been regular for 5 consecutive months. as for being pregnant, it's not likely. just recently with in the last two weeks i started having sex again, with condoms. i will get my period around the 21st, so does that mean that im ovulating? thanks again for all the feed back.
