when does depo provera take effect

Hello, Irregular bleeding like you describe is a common side effect of Depo Provera. Your girlfriend should have been counseled about this possibility when initiated on the medication. If she has any questions/concerns she should see the provider who is prescribing the medication. Best regards, Dr.

Yrs ago when I was on depo provera I had irregular light periods and after a few months they were non existant till I stopped getting the shots.

It is important to take a calcium supplement while using depo provera. Weight gain is probably the worst side effect. Hope this helps!

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.

Recently, Me and My Boyfriend had un-protected sex.. and afterwards i started bleeding. we haven't had sex in a week, what could time be a sign of.. I am on Depo Provera-the birth control shot?

I had the depo hoping that when i got off i would be able to have kids within a couple of months, it can take up to 2 years to get pregnant after having just 1 depo shot. while i was on the shot I had absolutely no period at all. i also gained a bit of weight (which is a normal side effect) but its really difficult to loose. if you plan on never having kids or having kids a really long time from now then its fine. hope you find the right bc for you and good luck on your search.

I was a little worried the last couple of days about being pregnant so I took a Home Pregnancy Test and it was negative. Being on Depo birth control would not effect a home pregnancy test would it? I made an appointment for Friday.

So I got put on depo provera friday and my period had came on the wednesday night before that friday. Well I had sex that saturday after being on the shot for 24hr and my bf *** inside of me could I be pregnant or no?

When I was 16 I got on the depo cause I've heard great things about it and even the drs. said it'd be the best for me because I had major migraines where I would see flashing lights and every part of my body would go numb, the said it was due to my menstral cycle. So I started the depo and I had a period for 2 months one HUGE migraine for 3 days and the everything stopped, Well I have given birth to 2 kids and I wasn't on the depo after the first so this is new to me.

m outside the normal range of time after stopping Depo Provera to have gotten my periods back. Could Depo be causing these problems or does it sound like something else could be a problem?

If you came off of the depo provera , theres no side effects when you come off of it but you may get your period back. I went off of the depo provera for 3 yrs ago and it took another 3 yrs. to get pregnant.

Hello, If you have been receiving Depo on time you should not be pregnant when receiving a subsequent injection. You may have noticed, if you have ever had to receive and injection more than 7 days beyond your next injection due date, a pregnancy test is performed. In studies looking at Depo administration in early pregnancy there have been no associations with fetal anomalies, poor fetal outcomes, or pregnancy loss.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of antibiotics do not affect the effectiveness of any form of hormonal birth control. This includes Depo Provera. The major exception to this is the antibiotic Rifampin which is used for tuberculosis among other things.

It sounds like Depo-Provera...Take a look at the link the above poster gave you. It will give you all the info you need. FYI Her chances of getting pregnant on the depo are VERY slim..It is normal for her not to get her period on the depo. That's what it does..I was on it for 4 yrs..Don't be nervous, just do your research on it...I must say, her Dr should've told her what he was giving her as an injection. Was she not informed before he gave it to her?

Thanks :) im only 20 weeks but was just thinking about 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.

I took provera 10mg for 10 days on November to help my period come after taking the depo and my pariod never came. The last depo shot i took was on April 2009. and nothing. I will like the reason or if i can concive i always been regular on my period. I want have an other baby..

At the end of June I had received an injection on one butt cheek for depo provera... In the second week of august I noticed a dent clearly visible to the naked eyes... I feel very insecure about this! Will this type of dent heal with time or should I look into some type of filler? I don't know what to do...

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.

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? Ive felt growls in tummy I feel naseus somtimes & the day before yesterday I ate once & didnt wana eat again...

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.

I started on depo provera shots for the second time when my third child was born in 2008. My last shot was In January of 2011. I'm trying to conceive but I've only spotted twice since stopping the shots. Once in October and once in December. Do you have any advice?

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.
