Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera return to fertility

depo-provera

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I have read up on the process, and apparently it can take anywhere from 6-18 months to return to normal mentral cycles, and sometimes even returning to fertility. Have you had any luck since your last post? Please do keep me up to date on when you return to normal, as I am patiently awaiting mine.
Avatar n tn I did a lot of research on this as I had been on it 9 years, everything I've read suggests that fertility and hormones return to normal between 6-12 months after the last injection. I understand u only had one shot of this but that's enough to un-sync your body :( I started taking folic acid in a bid to help my period return. My Periods returned 7 months after stopping the depo shot.
Avatar f tn t know the actual percentages, but among people we counsel it seems to take much less time for women on the pill to start ovulating again and get pregnant vs ones using Depo-Provera. This is a generalization but I would say return to ovulation with using your typical birth control pill is from 1 - 3 months. With Depo it's more common to be between 3 - 18 months or longer.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone,wanted to know how long it takes for depo to run out of your system.Supposed to get shot end of this month but we decided to skip and try to conceive.Wanted to wait til next Feb to try but was hearing that it takes awhile to run its course,,, any answers out there. Looking for advice..
Avatar f tn It takes awhile to get back to normal, but be prepared and use protection as your fertility could return quickly. Most women don't get a period for another 6-9 months after stopping depo. You can be fertile any time before that though it isn't likely. My obgyn told me to stop 18 months before I wanted to get pregnant because it can take a long time. Other side effects vary, I had headaches and mild cramping, when my periods began they were very light and a lot of brownish color blood.
Avatar f tn I suggest that you consult your gynecologist and get yourself examined to rule out other causes of not conceiving as it has been close to 2 years since you have stopped the depo shot and fertility should return by this time. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar f tn Hello, I am writing because I was on birth control for about 6 years from pills to the path to the last 2 years of Depo-Provera. I have been off birth control completely for about a year and a half and was wondering when all of the hormones, etc. will clear out of my system. I am getting married soon and I was wondering when my fertility level will return to normal I am 21 years.
Avatar f tn And what did you had to do to get pregnant aftef the depo? Because I know that its hard to get pregnant after it..
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn But a normal, healthy woman can take up to a year to conceive. Your best chances of conceiving would be to monitor your fertility (WE CAN HELP HERE!!!). I got pregnant with my 2nd daughter on the first try because I was monitoring my fertility. But again, it can take up to a year. You have a 25% chance of conception every cycle.
Avatar f tn This is a type of birth control, you need to get the shot every three months if you were trying to prevent a pregnancy. There is a delay in returning to fertility that may be between 3 and 18 months depending on the woman. It also stops menstrual cycles in a lot of women.
Avatar f tn Depo provera is notorious for causing fertility issues. Even if you get your period, it can take up to a year after getting off depo to get pregnant. Are you late for your period? if you are and the home tests are still negative, wait another week and test again, and if it's still negative then go ask your doctor AGAIN for a blood test because your period is very late and the urine tests are coming up negative.
Avatar f tn You can get pregnant anytime once you start getting your periods. After stoppage of Depo-Provera one can become pregnant as soon as three to four months after the last shot. It varies women to women. It may take some women up to a year or two to conceive once they stop using Depovera.It does not depend on how long you have been using Depovera.If you are not able to conceive it will be best to consult a gynecologist. Early diagnosis and treatment will help. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn It can take very little time to return to fertility or a long time. Most women will return to fertility (I believe around 87%) by 18 months. I was on depo for 8 years. Feel free to ask anymore questions about it. I have been through most of it and know lots of people who were going through the same thing waiting for their fertility to return.
Avatar f tn Clomid or Femara are both medications that help induce ovulation. You may need to ask for a referral to a ob/gyn or fertility specialist to get these medications. You may need to use them for a short time only, just to jump start your normal cycles. Good luck!

Avatar f tn Hello my doctor put me on 50mg clomid for six months, I had no success. I called and ask if they could up the dosage after it didn't work and they said they want to send us to the fertility clinic, but i don't think we are ready to take that step yet. I know i can have kids i have a five year old. Just don't know whats going on now. We have been trying for a year and seven months. We ordered the fertility blend for women and men, have you heard any good news about it??
Avatar f tn Hello, The effects of the depo provera may last after several months after the last injection. The non return of the periods is likely due to the effects of the depo provera which remains in the body for 6-12 months after the last injection. I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
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.
17613647 tn?1458368560 ve read that it can take 6-18 months for your cycles to return after stopping Depo Provera. It did not take me 6 months (less) to have mine return but, everyone is different. Wishing you the best trying for another baby!
Avatar f tn I received my first depo provera shot in march 2010, my last shot was in april 2011. While I was on Depo I had a period every 3 months right before I was due for my next shot. I was due for my last shot in July but Decided I wanted to stop taking birth control. I got my period as expected and then didn't get the shot. A week later i got my period again, and then about 2 or 2 1/2 weeks i got my period again. Now it has been about 5 weeks without a period.
Avatar n tn Could be 6 months to 1 year after the depo shot. It took me about 6-8 months to get one.

634745 tn?1256844310 Most forms of birth control do not adversely affect your fertility (the depo provera injection being the exception - you can experience delays in conceiving after using depo provera) but honestly your doctor is the best person to talk to - they know your personal history and situation. Ps - is your doctor helping you with the "womans bits" problems?
