depo-provera

Avatar m tn Hello, I have been given my FIRST depo-provera shot earlier this month, and it was not within my cycle - it was the 11th day afterwards. I had unprotected sex the following day, and am very worried I may be pregnant. Since I did not wait the seven days. I am extremely nauseous, getting bad headaches every two-three days, tender breasts, mood swings and today, I had a strong and sharp cramping feeling that lasted for less than thirty seconds, repeated and then stopped.

Avatar f tn I was on depo provera for 6 years, now I have been off it for 1 year and 1 month, I have been having the mood swings, tiredness, I get nauseated from late at night till about mid morning, I am bloated, my boobs have gone up at least one cup size, I have had previous vagiunal and breast bleeding, and my ankles feet and legs always feel swelled and it hurts me to walk very far, am I pregnant?
Avatar f tn I lost my virginity on March 12th which was unprotected sex with only precum plus I’m pretty sure it did not enter inside me. 4 days later I received my First Depo Provera shot. I had a period that went from the end of February on to the beginning of March so I didn’t expect another one that month of course. Plus losing my virginity I thought would throw it off. It is now April 14 & still no period. I highly doubt that I’m pregnant. I’m expecting my period later this month.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am 17, I am on Depo Provera and am having side effects such as constant bleeding (1 month and half) and the common mood changes. I was told that if I take estrogen I can minimize the bleeding or even stop it...However I was informed by a nurse that due to breast cancer running in my family if I starting to take an estrogen pill so early it can potentially make my risk of breast cancer even higher for the future.
902536 tn?1326914250 depo-provera is poison to the body and i know a lot of women on this site will agree with me. I don't think your pregnant though there could be a possibility only a test will tell you if you are or not.
Avatar f tn I'm 16, I have only took took shots of depo provera but didn't go on my 3rd shot which was April 29, 2014 because I have had continuous bleeding ever since I first started the depo which was November 2013. It's been over 6month's of non-stop bleeding and it still has not stopped even through I am no longer on the Shots. My periods would be kind of heavy then light then turn brown, then start all over in that order but it has never gone off !!
1815045 tn?1316798844 So I used to take the depo provera shot awhile back but i got off it due to the violent mood swings i was having; And I never got back on it and ending up having a kid, and then me n his father broke up and i never got another partner so I never needed to get back on birth control... Well I got with a new partner so I began taking the depo provera again and this time things are going smooth bled for the first 2 weeks and then the bleeding stopped.
Avatar n tn I am 19 years old, and just recently become sexually active with my boyfriend, we used protects and have both been tested, so all is good there. Okay... a week ago I got my depo Provera shot... and since then I have been hungry all of the time and have had cravings for anything sweet, saly, greasy, you name it, I've craved it... I also have been feelings nausiated at times... I am having terrible aches in my legs and arms...
1891325 tn?1321122976 What you listed describes what I feel exactly. I used to be an incredibly happy, bubbly person, and these mood swings are killing me! I really like the convenience of not having to worry about taking a pill, it's not that I mind pills at all, but my schedule as a college student varies so much it's hard to find a time to take it consistently. If I had a steady schedule where I could take a pill every day at the same time, I would much rather do that than have an injection.
Avatar n tn I know my friends have experienced bloating, weight gain, mood swings, etc from the depo shot.
Avatar f tn I recently had sex and after having sex i have noticed spotting and my mood swings have been out of conturle and iam on the depo been on it for almost 3 months and feel like iam prego what are the chances of getting prego on the shot
Avatar m tn What is a good birth control method for someone with bipolar disorder with psychotic features? My wife recently stopped taking Depo Provera, which I believe may have contributed to yet another psychotic episode->hospitalization. We don't want any kind of permanent solution (e.g. tubal ligation), but we need a reliable method and one that won't destabilize her once we decide to have a baby.
Avatar n tn It hurtss.. period cramps and then comes mood swings and then comes i hate my life phrase wat to dooo?
Avatar n tn I would never reconmend this as a birth control for anybody. Depo has some pretty bad side effects, to mood swings and heavy bleeding. Some women stop a period altogther while on depo and once they stop depo, periods sometimes do not return as normal.
3105573 tn?1355979465 depression and mood swings so bad it almost ended my relationship. Depo Provera is used as a chemical sterilizer for sex offenders. Probably the single most effective birth control barring a hysterectomy! It does not have that effect in all women but I would be extremely careful with it. I love the NuvaRing but if you are going to breastfeed you won't be able to use it because of the progesterone. If you can not be consist with pills I would look into an intrauterine device (IUD).
405824 tn?1201817954 I had all the typical symptoms of menopause even though mine was surgical menopause. My ongoing problem is severe mood swings. About 5 years ago I found myself actually hysterical and didn't know what to do. I was to the point where I almost admitted myself to an Emergency Room for some kind of help. I asked my pulmonary doctor for something and he gave me something (I don't remember what) with the stipulation I see someone. I did.
1936550 tn?1348360208 Just want to know my options on birth control. Ones that wont give me mood swings or weight gain, or other major side effects. I've read on the pill labels that it can cause ovarian cysts. My mom had them because of the pills and I saw the amount of pain she was in. Before all I used was condoms but I don't want to worry every month if I'm pregnant or not. My plan is to be on it for two years only then go back to condoms.
Avatar n tn I have experienced so many negative side effects (headaches, mood swings, depression, fatigue, bloating, decreased sex drive), which is why I might go back to using the pill. The weight gain is one of my biggest problems and insecurities as of right now. Trying to get ready in the mornings and having my pants not fit me anymore is extremely discouraging. I just want to know if its even possible to lose weight while on the depo with workouts and good diet?
202436 tn?1326474333 t planning on using any birth control after I had Lily, we were just gonna go with natural family planning. Well at my doc appt today he suggested the depo provera shot may help with milk production since I'm having an issue with it due to anemia. I went ahead and got the shot becuase I figured it was worth trying to see if it WILL help AND with the anemia problems right now it's probably best that I elminate as much risk of pregnancy as possible for awhile.
Avatar f tn I Have Had Depo I Didnt Gain Weight Or Have Mood Swings I Just Did Not Have A Period And Even After I Got Off Depo I Didn't Have A Period For Almost 3More Months And When I Did Get My Period Back It Was Very Irregular And Caused Problems With Me Trying To Concieve Because I Was Not Ovulating Like I Should But Everybody Body Is Different So You Might Or Might Not Get And Side Effects
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 know that I have polycystic ovaries, but have been regualr since coming off depo provera injections about 2 years ago; ie. this is my first missed period. I 'feel' pregnant and will treat myself as such until I know otherwise, but is it too eraly to tell? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/929303'>Did I test too soon????</a>.
Avatar f tn All was well for the first month, then the excruciating migraines, cramps, mood swings and severe weight gain came on (40lbs in one month!!!) and my hair began to fall out. So when Sept. 3rd came about, I chose NOT to get another shot. And that very afternoon, my period began. It ended on Jan. 3rd of 2011. I have not had a single period since, but have had constant cramping daily. During my 4 month period, the entire lining of my uterus shed in one solid piece.
Avatar f tn ve had mood swings, cravings, and crazy heartburn. SO -- The home test was about a month ago, blood test around the same time, is it possible that I am pregnant with all these negative results? The whole period being late isn't an option for me to gauge it all with because I have been on depo-provera for the last 3 years and now I'm on Mirena so I don't have a regular period and usually none at all..
