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
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.
Depo Provera, it's a shot every 3 months.
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.
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.
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.
You should probably see a doctor.
i had been on the depo shot for three years and became pregnant and didnt no cause you don't have a period on the shot. so i went for my next shot and found i was 3 months pregnant. my daughter was born premature at 32 weeks and only weighed 2lb11oz. so i belive if your meant to hav a child at a certain time you will no matter what birth control your on, it will happen when its supposed to...
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.
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
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.
Yes, Depo Provera is a birth control medication and is intended to help women avoid pregnancy.
