depo provera to the pill

can i take the mini-pill or the depo-provera injection even if i am taking other medicines such as pristiq, clonazepam, and tenoretic for high blood pressure?

What is the best way to do this? Everyone talks about the Depo Provera, but what is the side effects and would this by any chance bring problems in the near future when we want to concieve a baby?

I started on depo provera shots for the second time when my third child was born in 2008. My last shot was In January of 2011. I'm trying to conceive but I've only spotted twice since stopping the shots. Once in October and once in December. Do you have any advice?

Could anyone tell me, I am looking to start taking the pill to try and regulate my system again, does this work? I have heard many people have done this after coming off Depo and it has worked, but i'm not sure what to do. My periods are a regular 26 days but are pretty heavy. Any advice is much appreciated!!!!

i'm on the family planning medicaid insurance and the pharmacist said it doesn't cover it.

I was on the depo but only for like 6 months or so, when I came off of it, I didnt have a period for 2 years, I didnt cramp or anything, the only time i would spot would be when i exercised, almost at the end of the 2 years i got to hurting and my husband made me go to the ER and we found out I was pregnant and never had a period. Those shots can mess a woman up bad.

I was on the normal pill and came off in July too. I have also been trying for seven months and was on the pill for three years, I've had a lot of people advise me to keep persuing and not worry that it's taking a while because the pill takes a couple months to flush out of your system and then you have to get back into a regular cycle!

Also if you do choose to get off of the depo I can take up to 1year+ to get your cycle back to normal . To each their own but if I were you I would do some research before making your decision .

depo shots are not for men.. they would never be given it by a doctor.. its only contraception for women...

Oh by the way its NOT Depo-Provera....

I have been on Depo for about 3 years to stop my cycles. My periods were so bad I would have to go to the hospital. When I first got the shot, I gained a lot of weight. Then my body got use to it and I lost the weight, stopped my periods, and have not been ill. The past year I have gained weight again. I started to eat a lot of junk and thought that was it, but I look pregnant. Which I am not. I am huge and it is making me depressed! I don't know exactly what is causing it.

I went off Depo Provera a year and 2 months ago. I started the pill dec 2011 and stopped it June 16. I got a period June 21 and then again on aug 1st (although I expected it July 19th). So this would put me at a 40day cycle I'm thinking. So my husband and i have been active multiple times during ovulation and about every other day otherwise. I expected my period on sept 11th but it is now the 15th and both pregnancy tests were negative. Could I still be pregnant?

How long did it take, what method were you using? Estimate from the time the contraception was no longer "effective" (24 hours after the pill, 13 weeks after depo provera, immediately after IUD removal, immediately after stopping condom use) Long-term methods for this poll would include the hormonal IUD, Depo Provera (the shot), and Implanon or other birth control implants.

FINALLY, at the end of my third month of my depo shot. If you’re thinking about it, and DONT have bad periods or endometriosis... Go with the pill please!!!! BUT im at my 12th week, when does it start to wear off??????

I switched to Depo Provera after about 6 years on the same pill. I was on Depo Provera for 1 year. I stopped in December 2015 due to irritating light spotting and mood changes. I began BC pills that allow for a period only once every 3 months. The spotting now only occurs after sex or self stimulation. I got my period in February, and it was extremely light (not at all like I remember). I started the next pack of pills, still experiencing post coital spotting.

I am on the provera substitute the pill i mean and not the shot. And yes we had sex twice and both the time with no protection as we got confused with 'Depo-Provera' which is a birth control option. I am so scared as my baby is only 10 months now...and we were not so much planning for another baby now...we hoped to plan another one atleast 4 years later. I am still on the medicine and it has still 4 more days to finish it....

I think I can help you out. So depo provera, the shot, is made up of the hormone Progesterone. Progesterone is used by the woman's body to build up our endometerium, the lining of the uterus which is shed off during one's period. By taking depo provera you are consistently having the hormone progesterone released in your body for 3 months. Increasing the intake of this hormone in your body can cause prolonged periods and heavy spotting.

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?

Could be 6 months to 1 year after the depo shot. It took me about 6-8 months to get one.

Im 28 and have never been pregnant slightly overweight but not too concerred and getting it back down periods were always regular and pain free went on for birth control, my husband has 1 child already and decided to start are own family.

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.

What type of contraception are you on? If you are taking depo-provera i would seriously recommend you stop using this asap. I had the same symptoms as yourself and was diagnosed with depression, i wasn't depressed it was the side effects of the depo -provera. Also if you do ever plan on having kids it could take up to years after coming off of this pill for your body to regulate. I regret ever taking this for of contraception as my body is still completely messed up. Hope this helps!!

The same thing happened to me when I switched from Depo to the pill after three years. I slowly got my libido back after another three years. Have you chatted with your doctor about the situation?

We abstained from sex for a week after the injection just to be safe. Two weeks after the injection we had to make a visit to her family practice doctor because we had a hunch that she had a bladder infection. We were right. The doctor prescribed her to take 250 mg of Ciprofloxacin twice daily and of course Phenazopyridine for the pain. Being that we are both young, we had never heard that antibiotics could decrease the effectiveness of birth control.

I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding. I have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped. I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days? I have not felt like myself lately and I am having trouble doing my everyday activities.
