Depo provera blood clots
Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera blood clots
depo-provera
I have been off the depo shot since March 17th. I am still bleeding a huge amount of blood and huge clots! I don't know what to do. I told my doctor once and all she could say was try the depo again! Why would I want to do that when I'm having all this major bleeding. I feel like I'm bleeding to death!
I have been having light bleeding since November 8, along with really bad pelvic pain, blood clots, bloating, fatigue, weakness, and feeling like I am getting sick. I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. 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 received my first Depo Provera shot in November 30th prior to this date I had already gotten my period. It’s now January 18th and I started my “period” (if you can even call it that) a couple of days ago. I have little to no active bleeding, I’m soooo bloated, it started with brown discharge, I can hardly eat which means I’m not pooping, etc... this morning though, I passed a blood clot in my urine and nearly immediately I was in instant pain. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
Hello all,
I'm new to this but have a few questions. First a little background about me. I just turned 30 in september and have been married for a little over a year. My husband and I are ttc. Back in April of this year I had surgery to remove cysts from mybtube. I had been on depo since December of 14 and once I stopped august of 16 I never had a cycle. Long story short I had the surgery thinking that's why my cycle was non existent. Non the less I never had a cycle..
I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago after passing a blood clot the size of a grape fruit since then randomly I will pass blood clots, but they are not quite that size. Tuesday I started my period and it has been heavier than normal. I am passing about 7-8 clots a day. but tonight in the last 30 minutes I have had about 10 clots pass. I can feel them falling out of my body and they are about the size of 2 or 3 grapes. Should I be concerned?
t usually get blood clots in my period at all, and as I was surprised to get my period as iv been on depo- provera I decided maybe I was unlucky enough to get it even though you usually don't (and I didn't the first time on this contraception). And it was such a heavy painful period so I sat down on the toilet for a while and passed a quite large blood clot, it was about 2cm wide and about 5cm long in a sort of c looking shape. I'm feeling a little worried, what could this mean?
Is is possible that my son (who is now 16) has Autism because of Depo Provera birth control shots I received? My other 2 children are fine as I wasn't using any birth control with them. I received 2 shots and wasn't aware that I got pregnant during this time.........Is there a connection??

AT FIRST IT WAS A HEAVY FLOW WITH LARGE BLOOD CLOTS UNTIL I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND ALL THEY DID THERE WAS GIVE ME A HIGH DOSAGE SHOT OF THE DEPO BIRTH CONTROL SHOT WHICH SLOWED IT DOWN. NOW I AM BEGINNING TO CRAMP AND PASS BLOOD CLOTS AGAIN.
I HAVE MADE MANY GYNO APOOINTMENTS BUT THEY TELL ME THE CAN'T DO ANYTHING(PAP SMEAR) MAINLY BECAUSE I AM BLEEDING. COME BACK WHEN I AM NOT BLEEDING WHICH I DON"T KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE. SO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH UNTIL THEN.
i have tried everything, from lupron, to laparoscopies, to yaz, to smoking marijuana - currently i am on Depo Provera and have been for the past year and a half. I am noticing a lot of side affects from this as time goes on, and unfortunately for me this has been the only thing that even remotely helps, and i still have a lot of pain.
I have too much progesterone in my system from taking the Depo Provera shot. I have been off of the shot for about a year but still have the nasty effects happening to my body. (Hairs under my chin, extremely heavy and frequent bleeding, blood clots.) A few days ago it was so bad that I went through a box of tampons in less than 24 hours and every time I changed my tampon blood clots would fall to the floor. It was overwhelming and made me cry.
i think you shud talk to your doctor, i dont think this is normal
Hello,
Your gynecologist is doing the right thing by prescribing depo provera and iron pills. The primary treatment for patients with large or symptomatic fibroids is surgery. Hysterectomy (surgical removal of the entire uterus) is the most frequent operative technique used to treat this disorder.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
I have had three EKGs, an echo stress test, several d dimers (one being positive), three chest x-rays, and 24 hr halter monitor. I discontinued my depo provera shot hoping this was just negative side effects from the birth control two months ago. May I mention I've had constant bleeding/spotting for four months. Needless to say the symptoms continue and I am just concerned that they never searched anywhere else in my body for clots or research as to what caused my elevated d dimer.
ve looked them up (as the leaflet with them had hardly any info on and they had no proper box) and many woman all say they regret taking them and were in agony and that was just delaying periods!!! Not only that but the side effects include blood clots and they have been known in my family and seeing as many people do get this side effect they do worry me and my mum a lot!!!
Hi, my girlfriend lives overseas and she's on depo provera. She gets the shot once or twice a year only (not every 12 or 13 weeks). She has it injected one month in advance, every time before I travel overseas to visit her and have sex. I know depo provera meant to provide over 99% protection after 7 days, but we like to be extra cautious and wait a month before having sex. She had her last shot in September, and I visited her nearly a month later in October.
For a couple weeks now I have been passing stools embedded with red clots (blood?) and stringy mucasy particles (one clearly resembled a worm but nothing moves). The stool itself is "fluffy" and ragged looking and passes very easily. I'm sorry for the graphic description but I'm starting to get very worried as they only get more and more graphic looking. My diet isn't terribly unhealthy and I haven't made any drastic changes to it.
i'm on the family planning medicaid insurance and the pharmacist said it doesn't cover it.
ve never had a light period unless I was on the depo-provera. But even then, it still looked like a period. And now? The only time I see blood? is when I wipe with tissue and it's a small smear of light red. So I took a hpt (the ones that gps use?) and it came out negative each time. I almost don't want to go for a blood test because I have a feeling it's going to come back negative as well.
I've been on Depo Provera for almost a year but i've decided to not get my next shot in two weeks i'm not wanting to get pregnant anytime soon but I'm wondering how long will it take for the Hormones to leave my body and what kind of side effects should I expect?
t take birth control, it gives me blood clots in my legs. It seems like ever since that happened, I just keep coming up with odd symptoms.
I have also been diagnosed as having subclinical hyperthyroid for now. I was refferred to an endo for this, and I got no information from him, just that they're going to watch me.
I went to the Dr. today for my period, she gave me a pregnancy test first thing. Negative. She said she would want to put me on birth control to regulate it, but couldn't.
