Avatar f tn Hello. I was on depo provera for about 1.5 years. My last shot was in Aug.2013. As soon as I missed my shot , my cycle returned that some month. It's been regular ever since. I wanted to know how long did it take you all to conceive after depo.
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.
801413 tn?1333539276 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.

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 I am also off depo for 14 months now. My dr put me on yasmin for 2 months to regulate my cycle because I didn't have a period. So I have been off yasmin for 7 months now and I have been on and off clomid the past 6 months and it didn't work. Is it possible that the depo shot is causing me not to get pregnant? How long does it actualy take to work out of your system? I've only used it once.
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 I will be on my period for about a week and a half then stop for a couple days and start again. I was on the Depo Provera Shot and I was suppose to get it re-newed on the first on June. I also dont drink nearly enough water as I should be so I was wondering If that could be the reason why this is happening or could it be because I didn't re-new my birth control so my body is changing?
Avatar n tn How long after the depo shot can I get pregnant? Ive already had 2 injections I go for my 3rd between january 6th-20th but im not gonna get it. What do I hav to do to become pregnant and how long of a wait?
Avatar f tn It could be a side effect of the shot. How long have you been on the depo shot? or it could be irritation, a cut inside of you, sign of an STD, etc.

Avatar n tn How long does AF last once you get it? This would be my first time taking Provera. I havent had a period in 4 years (depo shot).
Avatar n tn 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. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. You should consult your doctor for more queries and assistance. Hope it helps. Best luck and regards!

3113005 tn?1341773834 It took me 3 years to conceive my son who is 6 years old. So being on depo provera over the long term can cause the reproductive system shock when the medication is stopped such that it can be very hard for some women to get pregnant. I am back on depo provera and have been on it for another 5 years...total of 10 years. I don't plan to have any more children but I still plan in the future to get off of it because it causes severe bone loss.
Avatar f tn 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???

Avatar f tn Is there anyone that can suggest another treatment i have not heard or or maybe has some advice on long term uses of depo provera as endometriosis pain management. p.s anyone hear about endometriosis being classified recently as an autoimmune disease? That certainly sounds about right!!
