Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera needle
depo-provera
I have recently been off the depo-provera birth controle needle its been about 2 months and since then ive had a mild period but not much and it was brownish colored, also my breast have been very sensitive almost as if icant touch them. I've been getting really bad abdominal pains and my home pregnancy test was negative. And lately it seems like im alwayse worn out and tierd. I'm not shure what to do please help.
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the depo provera injection is a very good and convenient form of birth control. Many patients use if for years and love it. Often there is some irregular bleeding initially when the shot is first begun, but after that most people don't have much more than infrequent spotting. If you get your shots on time the method is approximately 99% effective. I DO advise my patients to take a calcium supplement while on Depo.
Good luck!
i was on the depo provera twice last year, after the second shot i got chest pains and heart pulputations,i went to docs who rushed me to hospital, all my tests came back fine other than a stressed heart, they sent me home with no answers, now 10 months after my last shot iv only just got my period back but its coming every 8 days and iv still got the chest pains and heart pulputations and im getting sick of it, just wondering how long does it realy take to get fully out of system???
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.
I had been on the depo-provera for a little over 2 years. I decided to stop because i was putting on alot of weight. My local doctor told me to wait 2 months before i could go on the pill. I was due for me needle on the 28th of November and have not gotten it. But i recently had unprotected sex, Could i fall pregnant?

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.
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.
It was probably depo provera (if it was birth control). How long have you been TTC? If it's been a year or more then it's time to talk with your doctor because he may want to do some testing on your hormones. If there are something wrong with your hormones I don't think it's from the depo though. If anything birth control doesn't have you ovulate so your eggs are preserved (that is of course until you go off the medication and start ovulating again).
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.
i'm on the family planning medicaid insurance and the pharmacist said it doesn't cover it.
