Avatar f tn I hardly had a period until a year and a half after stopping the depo shot. So I'm sure it's ok. The depo shot really messes women up. It might be awhile till you back to normal. Best wishes. Princess.
Avatar f tn I have not heard of a correlation between the depo shot and dermoid cysts. However, I've read of cases where the menstrual cycle didn't return to normal after stopping depo.
Avatar f tn Another fact to be aware of is that once you stop Depo injections, it may take several months for your menstrual cycle to become 'normal' again. Although you can become pregnant after stopping Depo, it can take several months to a year before you're able to conceive. Personally, I liked Depo because it was easy to maintain the scheduled appointments every 3 months. Also, it is extremely effective when it comes to preventing pregnancy.
Avatar n tn It can cause irregular bleeding or spotting, heavy or prolonged bleeding, or your menstrual bleeds to stop altogether. After stopping depo it may take some time for your hormones to normalize. Upper stomach pain and cramp can be due to many causes like gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease; peptic ulcer etc.Other causes of delayed periods like pregnancy, hormonal imbalances, ovulation disorders and thyroid disorders should be ruled out. Schedule an appointment with a gynecologist.
Avatar f tn 50% of women will stop getting their period after 1 year of the shot. The period usually returns after stopping the shots, however, it can take 3 months to a year for the effects of Depo-Provera to wear off and fertility to return.
Avatar f tn I am currently on depo since 2016. I am stopping and ttc. I've been taking prenatals and l-argenine. I noticed spotting a couple of days ago and I'm die for my shot on the 29th but I'm not getting it. Is there a chance that my cycle is trying to come back? Never had one menstrual on depo.
Avatar f tn i recently had my last depo shot august of 2015 , soon after getting off depo i immediately started to have regular 28 day menstrual cycles ( THANK GOD ) it has been 7 months since the start of my regular period after stopping depo. i have ben trying to concieve for the past two months but no luck :( ive started to belive that i was ovulating but not getting pregnant due to the medicine from depo.
Avatar f tn I know a girl who got pregnant while taking Depo. It's going to be different for every woman. But a normal, healthy woman can take up to a year to conceive. Your best chances of conceiving would be to monitor your fertility (WE CAN HELP HERE!!!). I got pregnant with my 2nd daughter on the first try because I was monitoring my fertility. But again, it can take up to a year. You have a 25% chance of conception every cycle.
Avatar n tn I was on the depo shot for 2 yrs. might last shot was in dec. and i havent had my period yet. i have had unprotected sex since than and wonder if i could get pregnant that soon after getting off this method of bithcontrol with out having a miscarriage later on, if i do find out i am if im not pregnnat should i get on the pill for 2 months and get off to regulate my menstrual cycle and than try again than to get pregnant.
Avatar f tn Not only that but it typically takes the body an inordinate amount of time to recover after being on it so getting a normal menstrual cycle back after multiple rounds of shots is rare. I'd say it's pretty much to be expected that you'd have issues with your cycle after getting two shots.
Avatar m tn I had really heavy menstrual period and cramps so I was recommended by my doctor to get the depo shot to seize the pain and heavy periods. I took my shot October 19,2015 and was supposed to go back January 22nd to take another one but I never went again since I gained a lot of weight and I want to get pregnant.
Avatar f tn a week after my menstrual i had unprotected sex twice and im scared that i may be pregnant, but i read that after stopping depo it can take up to a yea r to become pregnant.
Avatar f tn The depo shot can make your cycle off for some time after stopping it. People have reported up to a year after stopping it. I would think that the discharge is from stopping the depo shot. However if you are having unprotected sex there is a chance of pregnancy in which case you should take a home pregnancy test two weeks after when you believe you concieved.
Avatar n tn You usually hit cycle a week after stopping and if not then wait until your next period and you should be ready on your 14th day!
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 So I started Depo provera 2 weeks and 2 days ago and I had unprotected sex 7 days after the shot and I was worried and called my docter to see if.it.was going to be effective they said yes cuz its been a week & I jus had unprotected sex again the second week after taking depo but dis time he cummed in me but im kind kind of worried should I be?

2184791 tn?1337896617 Ok,So i got the depo shot about 2.5 weeks prior to my period i havent started my period yet but the day i was suposed to start it me and my boyfriend had sex,it was painful when he tried to put it in.Could the depo shot cause this pain.? Plz help .confused =?
Avatar f tn I stopped taking the pills from the 5th day of the current period cycle. We had unprotected sex from the 12th day of the current menstrual period cycle. Now just after doing the sex, I have started feeling sore nipples, dizzyness, cramps in lower abdomen, very thirsty and sometimes pain in one side of the body. Is these synptoms I am now having due to the after effects of stopping the pills or is there a chance that I can be pregnant ? I am very confused.
646779 tn?1281996041 A lot of women have reported that it took them a year to get pregnant after stopping the shot. Its a great contraceptive but if you're planning to have a baby within the next year, I would get off of it now and switch to the pill until you are ready to start trying! Also, like sweet angel said, it's best to wait regardless. Those hormones could still be lingering, especially in depo because its timed release which is why you only need the shot every three months!
Avatar f tn Depo messes up your menstrual cycle a lot so when you stop getting shots, it takes forever to go back to normal. So it's not at all surprising that you're not having a period yet. Don't be surprised if it takes a really long time to get back to normal.
Avatar m tn How long does it take normally, for a woman who stopped using depo shot to get pregnant?
Avatar f tn I recieved the depo shot about a month ago to stop my menstrual cycle. about 2 weeks ago i started spotting and it is still spotting ever since. should i see a doctor or will this stop soon?
Avatar f tn It took my husband and I 3 years after the depo, I was told it stays in your system for that long after you're last shot.
Avatar f tn How long did you guys had to wait to get pregnant afted depo shot.. And what did you had to do to get pregnant aftef the depo? Because I know that its hard to get pregnant after it..
Avatar f tn I think it is really hard to predict ovulation even WITH the ovulation predictor kits. I had a hard time with those. You should start tracking your cycle On average, women that have a typical cycle length, they can star having sex EVERY OTHER day on day 10 of their cycle (cycle day one is the first day of their period) and keep doing that until day 20. That usually catches the egg. Women ovulate around day 14 to 15 on average. Since you just came off depo, this is hard to predict for you.
Avatar n tn s effectiveness usually wears off after 3 months, but it has the potential to stay in your body for up to a year after the last injection. After stopping Depo, menstrual cycles often are irregular or non-existent for a few months afterward. That's why some women find it hard to become pregnant during the first year after stopping injections... So, if you continue to feel weird pregnancy symptoms make an appointment with your doctor(s) just to be on the safe side.
Avatar m tn Hi, I only had one depo shot, so I didn't experience the hair loss, but my menstrual cycle did finally return a year later.
