Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera pregnancy test

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 I fell pregnant on my depo injection and found out with a home preg test...
Avatar m tn s nearly December, and today she took a home pregnancy test which showed up with a positive result. Given that depo has such a high protection rate when used correctly, I'm wondering how likely she is to be pregnant? Would it make any difference if she doesn't get the injection every 12 weeks, but is always certain to have it one month prior to us having sex, without fail? Thank you.
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 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. It is designed to keep your body from ovulating, but it also keeps your cervical mucous thick and thins the lining of your uterus to prevent implantation. Because Depo tends to keep the lining of the uterus thin, this is one of the reasons women generally have lighter periods while taking it.
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 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??
Avatar n tn You can definitely take a pregnancy test now to see if you are pregnant. I know a girl who was on Depo and was pregnant for EIGHT months before she found out she was pregnant. She took Depo the entire time and her baby was fine!
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.
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.
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 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 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 f tn Depo-Provera is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Pregnancy occurring during the use of the shot is usually an undetected pregnancy before the shot is given. One of the side effects of Depo-Provera is irregular menstrual bleeding. 50% of women will stop getting their period after 1 year of the shot. The period usually returns after stopping the shots, however, it can take 3 months to a year for the effects of Depo-Provera to wear off and fertility to return.
1636874 tn?1311547431 u dont have 2 take a test 2 check 4 stds b4 u get the shot the only thing u have 2 take is a pregnancy test an be on ur period.
Avatar n tn it took me nearly 20 months to concieve after depo provera then when i did concieve i m/c at 9 weeks- 7months later still trying to concieve it mucks up your body but everyone is different so you just have to wait and see but i had no problem concieving my first 2 children before the depo.... good luck hopefully you will have better luck than me.
Avatar n tn I have recently felt really strange lately, I have weird head aches one which felt like pressure on my brain and I'm not normally one to suffer head aches, I've recently been extremely tired, had light cramps and spotting which is very strange as I am taking provera 100g as I suffer bad period and don't ovulate but have done research and apparently high doses of provera can create your body to do so, I have also noticed I am getting a bit of acne and get hot and cold sometimes..
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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn ive been on the depo shot for a while my last one was due in Feb and i didnt take it my doctor did a pregnancy test came back neg and now im on my second round of provera also my breast and my underarms were very tender after taking provera it went away wonder when my period will start.
494669 tn?1275362475 I have been off Depo-Provera for 11 months now and still haven't conceived. Every month i have the same symptoms you are describing and every month i have the same negative result. I was also told afetr i came off the injection it could take me anything from a year to 2 years to conceive.
Avatar n tn Hi! If you were my patient, I would advise you that the effects of depo provera can last for up to 18 months, so "abnormal" periods for up to that long can be normal. I would suggest that you start doing ovulation predictors once you have a normal period and if you are not ovulating regularly, you could start a medication like Clomid to overcome the after effects of the depo.
Avatar f tn If you were my patient, I would advise you that it is common to have irregular periods after using Depo Provera. If the pregnancy test is negative, chances are pretty good that you are NOT pregnant. HOWEVER, i never hurts to repeat the test, or ask your doctor for a blood test. Good luck!
Avatar f tn 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?
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 m tn Hi, i have a well grounded education in biology and chemistry, but it seems in the feild of tyhe womens response to hormones i am lacking. My girlfreind recieved the Depo Provera shot, a few days before she was expecting her period, she never got it, and it is now 3 weeks past, i can see how this may be normal, im not sure the exact role of progesterone. The reason i worry is one of pregnancy, allthough i cannot fashion it to be a possibility, anything is supposedly possibly.
