Does the depo shot stop your period?
Every woman's body is different. The nurse told me it would take 3 months. I haven't had a period for the entire time I have been on the depo shot. But.. I have had the vaginal discharge that is sort of rare. The nurse also told me if/when you do have your first period after starting the depo shot, it can last up to 3 weeks.
How can you speed up pregnancy after depo is there any way to boost pregnancy after depo?
I was on depo for 1 year. After taking my last shot in April of 2010, I just became pregnant in November. I am 5 weeks now. After taking depo, I switched to Yaz for 1 month to start and regualte my menstrual cycle again. I guess it all depends on your body.
Can you get pregnant changing from one birth control shot to a lower dose birth control shot?
Yes you can! I was on the depo shot for eight years. I went in one day to take the shot, he told me it was time to get off of them, because I wasn't going to be able to have children and that it was gonna mess up my pelvic bones. So he sent me home with some brochures about the different kind of birth controls. When I went back I was two weeks pregnant, now I have another beautiful little boy!
You were on the depo-shot for 6 months and stopped taking it should you use a back-up method of birth control when I have sex?
Yes, you should use a back up method if you stopped taking the shot. Essentially, the protection stops the week you are due in for your shot. Now, the chances of you conceiving are still slim but a condom or even the pill is recommended. Depo Provera is said to stay in your system for up to 18 months but will not prevent you from getting pregnant after you stop taking it, no matter how long it is in your system or how long you were taking the shot.
How late can you be for your depo provera shot?
You can get your next depo provera shot up to 15 weeks after the last without worrying. If you don't make that deadline, be sure to use a backup method of birth control until you get your next shot.
Does birth control Depo-Provera make your butt big where you need the shot?
It can cause you to increase weight, but not necessarily just where you get the shot. Im currently taking the shot and my breast and butt has increased tremendously! I went up two sizes in my clothing.
If a girl's on the depo shot for 2 years and hasn't had her period in a year does this mean she is unfertile and she won't get pregnant?
It can take up to 18 months (average 11 months) to get your period after stopping Depo Provera. Women get pregnant at the same rate after stopping Depo Provera as women who have never used it. There's just a delay.
Havent had depo in 6 weeks are you still protected if you take it now?
If you restart Depo Provera now, six weeks late, you just need to use back up birth control for the first five days. If you mean you had your last three-month Depo 6 weeks ago, then your'e not due for a shot.
How long after you don't take the depo shot should you have a period i took the shot once and i suppose to have taken it two months ago and i haven't seen my period yet?
Can take up to a year for your period to start.
Previously very fertile fell pregnant after 1 month twice butnow had 1 depo injection how long to get pregnant afterhad no problems or periods?
The depo usually lasts for 6 months, after this time women need to have another shot to remain infertile. so usually after 6 months you can become pregnant again. However, it can last a lot longer than that, the depo can really stuff up womens cycles and some women find it very difficult to get pregnant again after the depo shot.
Can you reverse the depo shot?
No you can not, you just have to wait until it goes from your system. Doing a detox may help speed up the process but other than that there is nothing you can do.
I have paragard IUD but recently received a shot of depo because i am getting the IUD removed heavy periods but now i have decided i don't want to be on bc how to get rid of this depo?
Once you've received a shot of depo there is no way "to get rid of it" until it has run its course. From the Planned Parenthood website: * If you stop the shot in order to get pregnant, it can take an average of 9 to 10 months, sometimes up to a year or more, before pregnancy occurs. Some women do get pregnant right away. * If you experience side effects, there is no way to neutralize the shot or reverse its side effects. They may continue and you may need evaluation and/or treatment until the shot wears off. Read more at: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/centralwa/depo-provera-dmpa.htm
