Common Questions and Answers about How long is depo provera in your system

depo-provera

Avatar f tn Depo provera is notorious for staying in your system longer than any other birth control once it is stopped. It can remain in your system for 12-18 months. Some women luck out and can get pregnant quickly, other women take over a year. Unlikely u could be pregnant from that encounter. Esp if you were taking the shot as directed. Stranger things have happened tho so take a test.
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 Depo Provera is effective birth control for 3 months. I'm not sure how long it takes to completely leave your system. You may want to contact your doctor, tell him/her of your complaints and decide on another birth control option when it's time you can make the switch. Best wishes!
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.
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 f tn Hi doc i have been using Depo Provera since 2006 january then i stoped using it in January 15 this year, i have not seen my periods since and i want to try for a second baby, how long will depo be in my system? will i ever conceive without menstruating how many months /years to wait until i conceive?
Avatar f tn i was on the depo and i got in in febuary of this year.. it was finally out of my system in early may. so yes it did take about 3 months.. the 6 month period of having difficulty conceiving is fifty fifty. some women find themselves pregnant after that and some found it took longer..
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. 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 The depo provera shot can alter many things about your period and coming off of it could be the root cause of the problem or it could be a thickening in the lining of your uterus and your uterus is trying to shed it. This is called endometriosis. This problem could also be hormonal. There are many factors and as I said it's important to consult your OB so that they can order tests and determine the cause. Oh and if you know you aren't drinking enough water, drink more!

16411434 tn?1447717985 A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS AGO I GOT THE DEPO PROVERA SHOT. I ONLY GOT IT ONCE BECAUSE IN THE 3 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT I GAINED OVER 70 LBS. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE WEIGHT GAIN AND STARTED BEING EVEN MORE ACTIVE AND EATING BETTER. BEFORE THE DEPO SHOT I WALKED 6 MILES A DAY AND DID CALISTHENICS EVERY MORNING AND NIGHT. I GAINED EVEN MORE WEIGHT AFTER THAT 3 MONTH PERIOD AND NOW AT 250 LBS., OVER 100 LBS.
Avatar f tn I'm on the Depo shot I've had it for six months and just got my second one Friday I haven't started my period since I got my first shot. I have been hospitalized four times by heart pulpatations and they told me the hot has nothing to do with my heart pulpitations ...
Avatar f tn Quick question... which Depo are you on? There are two kinds, that I'm aware of: Depo Provera or Depo Lupron. I had tried the Provera when I was about 16 for about a year. I had to stop because I could not handle the side effects any longer. I did spot for about 3 months. It usually takes a few months for your system to get used to it. The Lupron stops your period completely and basically puts your body into menopause, which is the one I am currently on.
494555 tn?1228504371 rite i came off my depo provera 8 ths ago i only had 2 injections then came off it i got my periods back straight away and i think i have been ovulating but am not sure well the question is is there any1 that can tell me how long it could take me 2 get pregnant i was told the longer ur on the depo the longer it takes 2 fall pregnant but i dont know if that true i really need to know about this has any1 else came off the depo provera and how long did it take them 2 get pregnant thank you so much
Avatar f tn Doctor, Thank you for taking time to respond to my question. If depo caused me to gain weight.. How long until it is out out of my body? I had my last injection in April and continue to gain weight. I've seen several doctors, most have run a thyroid test--which they said was normal and simply tell me to "burn more calories and eat better.
902536 tn?1326914250 I was told in some women it could take up to 1 year for it to leave your system and another year to conceive in all honesty i HATE depo-provera and will never take it again for as long as i live
505857 tn?1329681517 i was on depo for two years and i then started taking the pill in january 2007. i stoped taking the pill in october 2007 and i got pregnant in december 2007. so going onto the pill worked for me.
Avatar f tn I was on depo for 3 years and as soon as I missed the shot I had a period and then I was pregnant. After I had my son I immediately got the shot again then stop taking it I had irregular periods and then I bled none stop for 6 months. Never getting depo again!!!
Avatar f tn I know you posted this post a while ago but do you know all the facts about depo-provera. I was on it for 2 and a half years and came off it to ttc in aug 08 i am still trying 18 months later as the depo made me infertile, it could take 2 years for the depo alone to leave your system. I would strongly suggest if yu haven't already find a different contraception and i know a lot of women will agree with me on this site!!

Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn t think it messed you up I just think if you just came off the depo then it may take a little bit for you to get all the hormones out of your system. How long have you been TTC? It normally takes women about 9 months to get pregnant. Try not to get discouraged but I know it's easier said then done. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I really want to conceive asap and I need help getting it out of my system asap... I have missed 2 shots, The one supposed to be in November of 2012 and the one of February of 2013. Please help me...
