Can you be pregnant one depo shot then 2months no period?
It is highly unlikely to get pregnant on the depo provera. And if you are worried because you have not had a period in two months that is normal for the depo shot. It is made to stop your period
Is it easier to get pregnant when you stop taking the depo vera shot?
Depo Provera is meant to prevent pregnancy. When you stop, you don't have pregnancy protection. There is no special "fertility boost" immediately after stopping depo provera.
How can a girl know if her depo shot hormones have stop working?
You should assume that you no longer have protection from Depo Provera when you are late for the next shot. If you don't want to get pregnant, start using another birth control method at that time.
Can I get Pregenant after being on the depo shot for two years and how long will it take?
Yes. It's even possible to get pregnant while still on Depo Provera, as it is not 100 percent effective. 83 percent of women who stop taking the shot get pregnant within the first year. Time does vary as your fertility will go back to what it was before taking the shot. Some women can conceive sooner, and some later.
How do you stop Depo-Provera from working?
There is no way to stop the effects of the Depo Provera shot in a female. You will simply have to wait it out (12 to 15 weeks), in a male it is possible to override the Depo with artificial testosterone injections.

Is it all right for you to not have periods while on the Depo Shots?
I've been on depo for a year 1/2..yes it is okay for you to stop having normal periods after starting the depo shot. although you might have cramping and spotting after three months when its time for your next shot.
After ten years of depo can you get pregnant?
Yes, but your actual fertility is unpredictable. Depo-provera or medroxyprogeterone acetate is an injectable progesterone. Each shot is roughly effective for 3 months. Depo-provera prevents the proliferation of your endometrium (the lining of your uterus) which means that your periods may become lighter or stop altogether. However, this is not a permenant change. Eventually, the levels of depo-provera will drop no matter how long you have been on it and you will be able to get pregnant again. This is preventable by continuing to receive shots at a regular 3 month interval. As with any form of contraception, it is not 100% effective so it is important to remember that you could become pregnant at anytime although it is unlikely.
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
