depo-provera

Avatar n tn I was on Depo for 12 years and I was off of it for a year and a half and I never got my period back. I then got the implanon and I think that it broke because i have all of the symptoms of pregnancy. i think that I am 3 weeks. I have had 3 negative tests but I think that it is too early to get a positive result. can anyone give me some answers?
Avatar f tn I was on the depo provera shot and I was due for my shot Aug 15-27 my boyfriend and I were sexually active we didn't use protection my period was due on the 30th and I am 28 days late. I took 3 pregnancy test and they came out negative I'vebeen having some symptoms like food cravings, neasous, lower back pains, tender boobs, I had a discharge about a week after my missed period.
1318372 tn?1274234535 implanon and depo provera are similar in the amt of hormones it releases into your body....both methods will stop periods eventually. I was on depo but AF stopped after my first shot so i'd think it would stop after getting implanon rather quickly. try a test and you can always talk to your doctor and have them do a blood test to rule pregnancy out.
Avatar f tn I HAD MY THIRD SON IN SEPT AND HAD ONE DEPO SHOT TO TIDE ME OVER TILL THE DOC WAS AVAILABLE TO GIVE ME THE IMPLANON. AFTER 4 WEEKS OF GETTING THE SHOT, ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS STARTED AGAIN. SO I WOULD SAY ITS PRETTY CERTAIN THE DEPO CAUSES THIS This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/228762'>can depo provera cause ibs symptoms?</a>.
Avatar f tn It depends on the birth control you are on. If you are on depo provera or the implant in the arm (implanon) you won't have a period. with the depo once you stop it may take up to a year for it to completely leave your system and then you can concieve. I'm not sure how long the implanon implant takes to wear off.
Avatar f tn I have tried the pill, which I would forget about, depo provera made me bleed for over a year straight and had to be put on different hormone pills and iron supplements.
7019649 tn?1396792517 Im using depo provera i loved it and had no side effects except my period being irregular the first 3 months
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.
4842016 tn?1372039067 I had the implanon for 2 years and I hated it but it effects everyone diffrently and the depo I gained a lot of weight.
Avatar m tn there are several birth controls that can stop menstration. Depo-provera and implanon for sure will keep the body from making the uterine lining and therefore no menstration.
Avatar n tn The implanon and depo provera release the hormones progesterone. THis is the hormone that makes up your endometerium, which is shed off during your period. So by consistently taking progesterone it will increase the buildup of your endometerium increasing the rate of spotting or having prolonged periods. To avoid this problem I suggest taking estrogen only or combination birth control (estrogen and progesterone) i.e.
1229507 tn?1294022730 A side benefit to Depo is many (and I am one of them) do not have periods at all and have not had one since starting Depo--it's success rate at preventing pregnancy is 99.7% which is actually higher than tubal ligation anyway.While its true that it can't be immediately withdrawn from the system after being tried, it has only a 3 month duration and would be back out of her system if it didn't work for her.
Avatar n tn has taken me off the Depo Shots and I was put on Birth Control Pills. The blood was very dark red and blood clots. I was given an altrsound was told nothing was wrong. Is this normal with the Depo Provera?
Avatar f tn Hi Im 21 and in a committed long term relationship with my boyfriend. We are sexually active about 2-3 times a week and we don't use protection or "pull out". I was on implanon for a year and three months n the bleeding never stopped. I just got it removed two days ago and i am still bleeding. In about two weeks i am considering the depo shot. But people are telling me that after removing implanon you become very fertile. Is this true?
1936550 tn?1348360208 Hello, You can discuss the option of birth control with your doctor and then start with the prescribed birth control measure. You can use depo provera shots or Implanon. 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. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn I had a mirena IUD after my son was born and didn't have a single period from when it was inserted until I had it taken out. Back before my son when I got depo provera shots I didn't get periods on that either. Most hormonal methods make periods shorter and lighter or eliminate them completely.
Avatar f tn If it ends up that you are not pregnant then you may want to think of another form of birth control that you dont need to do on a daily basis such as Nuva ring, implanon, depo provera, mirena etc. I personally love the nuva ring. its in for 3 weeks out for 1 week then a new one the following week. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn I have a history of anxiety and depression. Is depo-provera a good choice or a bad choice for birth control? Thank you!
432411 tn?1206472109 I took depo provera for about 6 years, starting in 2000. Just over three months after I stopped taking the shots I developed a nodule in my neck which was eventually diagnosed as thyroid cancer. I have absolutely no history of thyroid problems of any kind in family and I had had no problems before the depo.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn There are many different forms out there such as implanon, nuva ring, and birth control pills. Maybe you should do a little research and see if any of these forms would better suit you.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am not sure of what type of antibiotic might affect other contraceptives like the pill, but I am pretty sure that she will be fine on the shot. I myself had the depo-provera shot about 10 years ago. I only had one shot and I didn't have a period until a whole year later. It actually took me over another year after my period returned before, I finally became pregnant. The depo-provera shot is extremely effective.
Avatar f tn I got depo provera for a few years and had no issues - no weight gain, no skin issues, no periods, no hormonal problems. I had some insurance issues so switched to just condoms for several years until my husband and I decided to have baby #1.
7385294 tn?1412105739 in some cases infertility can last over a year from last shot and long term use is know to cause osteoporosis -iud's like mirena; can be left in for 3-5 years depending on brand but can be removed sooner, con: ???
Avatar f tn s no way to tell for sure, but more and more proof is coming out that autism is NOT linked to vaccines, and because depo provera is an active hormone shot and not a vaccine, I highly doubt that it is the cause. Are your other children girls by any chance? Very often a family that has an autistic child only has 1 (almost always a boy), and the rest of the children are "normal". They are thinking more and more that it's a genetic mutation.
