depo provera menstruation

i got menstruation November 28 2010 i decided to get inject my contraceptive Depo-Provera because my husband arrival is December so got safe for 3 months..after 3 months February 13 2011 to be exact his departure...after that i dont get my Depo-Provera again i got my spotting on march and april 27 2011 a regular menstration for 5 days.Unxpected my husband got back may 24,2011 we contact to each other (sex)...

A few years ago, I was put on Depo Provera. I was taking this for about a year and only had 1 menstrual period in this entire time. I have heard that this is quite common, and it can really mess up your cycle etc. I stopped taking it and went back to the pill as soon as possible, and I was soon back to normal.

I have been on the Depo Provera shot for more than 5 years now. I read that the recommended amount of time that a young woman should be on Depo is only 2 years. I am 20 now and I have been on it since I was 15. I have tried to come off of it once. I bled for about 3 weeks and then got back on it. Currently I have all kinds of pain. Back, kness, neck, arms, and I have migraines. I read about a calcium deficiency when doing research about Depo Provera.

NOHARD, my mum did all the research, and was happiest with putting me on the Depo-Provera, so I do trust her decision. hnw121507, thank you, and I think I will continue it, at least for a while, the extreme period pain is gone, so that is a massive relief.

Hi ladies. My last depo provera shot ran out in november and i never got it renewed as i was having bad side effects and i wanted to come off all contraceptives to let my body sort itself out. Its now nearly april and i havnt had any signs of a period apart from stomach cramps now andagain. I was just wondering if anyone had any information for me as im getting a little bit worried/frustrated. Thanks in advance!

I didn't have a period or any bleeding at all after my surgery, but since I am on depo provera, I don't typically get them anyway. I wouldn't worry too much, it may take a bit for your body to readjust and the ovaries to start working again. Have you had a follow up yet? Maybe just give your doctor a call and ask, but it seems normal to me.

Alternatively, a progesterone only form of contraception will provide endometrial protection, although most will not regulate your bleeding.

Other forms of medroxyprogesterone, such as Depo-Provera, are used as a contraceptive injection and prescribed in the treatment of endometrial cancer. Some doctors prescribe Provera to treat endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, premenstrual tension, sexual aggressive behavior in men, and sleep apnea (temporary failure to breathe while sleeping).

i have been on depo shot for 6 yrs.i have now been off for 1yr.4months,my husband and i are trying to have a baby,by me being on shot so long do you think its still in my system the reason i havent gotten pregeant since ive been off the shot?

and being doubled over in so much pain. See you ob/gyn and discuss your options. For me, I went on the depo-provera shot for 3 years. Had no menstruation. When I went off the shot, my periods were shorter and with nearly no pain anymore. Best of luck!

I started the depo provera shots last year (june), and was due for my last one 2nd January just gone. i didnt get the injection as me and my partner now want to start a family. When i was on the injection i was regular with a period every month.

because i am 2 weeks late and the ultrasound showed that i wasent goin to get my period she put me on provera. now it has me thinkin. i have no idea when my ovulation is....because the meds will force me too bleed can i count 14 days from that to see when im going to ovulate...or does that not even count? My doctor said i have her stumped...which kinda scares me...i hope everything is ok with my body. my husband and i have only been trying for 4 months...

Hello, By injections, I suppose you mean depo shots. If you stop getting Depo-Provera injections, your period usually returns within 3 to 10 months but sometimes it may take 12-18 mths. Also get secondary amenorrhea ruled out. Secondary amenorrhea is when a woman who has had normal menstrual cycles stops getting her monthly period for 3 or more months.

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?

c and diagnosed having a molar pregnancy. so that was in jan 2011. I immediately in february got on depo provera (birth control) and missed my due back in may 2011. Ive just started to have a normal menustration in july since all of that and we have been having sex and still no positive test. should i be worried yet ?

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.

is it possible to take provera without a prescription to a doctor, before my doctor prescribed me that med. i got my menstruation. but now again i have no mestruation 6 months, its running 7 months though im not pregnant.. how can i buy this kind of medicine without prescription of my doctor...

Recently, Me and My Boyfriend had un-protected sex.. and afterwards i started bleeding. we haven't had sex in a week, what could time be a sign of.. I am on Depo Provera-the birth control shot?

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.

Irregular menstrual periods, or no periods at all Headaches Nervousness Depression Dizziness Acne Changes in appetite Weight gain Excessive growth of facial and body hair Hair loss Loss of bone mineral density Most of the side effects are not common. Change in the menstrual cycle is the most common side effect. You may experience irregular bleeding or spotting. After a year of use, about 50% of women will stop getting their periods. Their periods usually return when they discontinue the shots.

Hello, Irregular bleeding like you describe is a common side effect of Depo Provera. Your girlfriend should have been counseled about this possibility when initiated on the medication. If she has any questions/concerns she should see the provider who is prescribing the medication. Best regards, Dr.

I've been on depo provera for 15 years and my periods stopped right away. I'm 45 years old and just had a period that lasted 5 days. My question is whether or not depo provera is still working as my birth control choice? Is there a way to know if depo provera is no longer working and if I may get pregnant?

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.
