Common Questions and Answers about Medroxyprogesterone depo-provera
depo-provera
re talking about is a birth control shot also called Depo-Provera. This is not a pill that you would take for five days it is a shot you would get in your doctors office. 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.
Like what is the general time frame after you take you last pill of Provera/Medroxyprogesterone. Also has Metformin and Provera worked for anyone without having the other things as well. Also what do I expect if have to get to the shot phase. I've been on clomid before and it worked for me, but is this something that i should ask for right away or follow the outline that my RE has for me? As always anyhelp is good help, so please help...if you can!
Other forms of medroxyprogesterone, such as Depo-Provera, are used as a contraceptive injection and prescribed in the treatment of endometrial cancer.
Some doctors prescribe Provera to treat endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, premenstrual tension, sexual aggressive behavior in men, and sleep apnea (temporary failure to breathe while sleeping).

Side effects cannot be anticipated.
t come back after I got off my doctors kept telling me at first that your body just takes a while to get back to normal after you have been on the depo....after a year they decided to give me provera (medroxyprogesterone) to induce a cycle. It worked to induce one horrible cycle but then disappeared again.
Have you been on Provera (medroxyprogesterone) before? You should get your period 3-14 days after your last pill.
Hi, I received the depo injection on the 14th of November not knowing that I was at least two weeks pregnant. I found out this morning and was shocked, and now rather concerned. What are the risks of being on the depo injection while pregnant? Can it harm my baby?
I used Provera, too, for about 3 months until I started going through IUI. My uterine lining was dangerously and also way to too thick since i was not shedding my lining. I was not ov at all. After taking the provera, my lining got back to the correct thickness to support a pg. The second IUI worked.
For me, the first af after starting provera was extremely heavy and accompanied by severe cramping. but thankfully the cramping only lasted a day.
its taken if your periods are irregular or have stopped completely and your doctor can find no obvious cause, it may be that something has upset your natural hormone levels. Medroxyprogesterone(provera) can help to restore your natural hormone levels, because it mimics the effects of your natural progesterone. causing your body to get your period...
I just took my first dose 10 mg of Provera to induce a period i skipped 4 months in a row..... I'm scared after reading others experiences with the medication anyone ever take it?
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.

Most of the side effects are not common. Change in the menstrual cycle is the most common side effect. You may experience irregular bleeding or spotting. After a year of use, about 50% of women will stop getting their periods. Their periods usually return when they discontinue the shots.
I've been on depo provera for 15 years and my periods stopped right away. I'm 45 years old and just had a period that lasted 5 days. My question is whether or not depo provera is still working as my birth control choice? Is there a way to know if depo provera is no longer working and if I may get pregnant?
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.
I have been on the Depo Provera shot for more than 5 years now. I read that the recommended amount of time that a young woman should be on Depo is only 2 years. I am 20 now and I have been on it since I was 15. I have tried to come off of it once. I bled for about 3 weeks and then got back on it. Currently I have all kinds of pain. Back, kness, neck, arms, and I have migraines. I read about a calcium deficiency when doing research about Depo Provera.
