I got the flu and started taking flu medicine and two days later all of the sudden - a period. I am freaking out. What would cause a sudden period after such a long absence? I want it to go away NOW. Did the flu medicine kill my depo shot?

Avatar f tn If you ovulate before you get the pill or the injection (Do consider pros and cons, by the way.), you can get pregnant, yes, and taking pills or getting the injection can cause some problems for the unborn child. I'd make sure to mention to the doctor what happened before starting anything.

1428239 tn?1333457053 Ask your doctor what she or he recommends and talk about the pros and cons of each type. Many women like the IUD much better than the pill, as you dont have to remember to take it each day. There are many things to think about, so make sure to do some research and talk to your doctor.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am not sure of what type of antibiotic might affect other contraceptives like the pill, but I am pretty sure that she will be fine on the shot. I myself had the depo-provera shot about 10 years ago. I only had one shot and I didn't have a period until a whole year later. It actually took me over another year after my period returned before, I finally became pregnant. The depo-provera shot is extremely effective.
