On the Depo you don't get periods at all - the point of this Birth Control method is to suppress your menstrual cycles so you don't ovulate, thus you don't menstruate either. Women can experience irregular bleeds while on Depo but there's no way to tell how long these can last.
Can a woman get her firs depo shot 6 days after her period?
Yes, you can get depo provera on the fifth day of your period. If you start within the first seven days of your period, Depo Provera is immediately effective.
The first shot of Depo Provera is usually given during or a few days after the start of a menstrual period.
If you are not on your period when you get the depo shot nothing will happen but you will have to use condoms for seven days after you get the shot to help prevent pregnancy ....depo provera only works immediately when you are on your period
It is common to have no period when using Depo Provera.
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
yes it is. I've been on it for 2 months now and my period is basically like 3 days
You can get Depo Provera at any time in your cycle. Getting the first Depo Provera during your period is easier because it becomes effective faster (within 24 hours) when you take it in the first seven days of your period. If you get it at any other time in your cycle, you'll get a pregnancy test at the time of the injection. You should repeat the pregnancy test in two weeks. You also need to use a back up method of birth control for seven days.
For the most part you will not get your period while you are still receiving the depo shot that is the part that is good, you will however spot from time to time For the most part you will not get your period while you are still receiving the depo shot that is the part that is good, you will however spot from time to time
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.
I was on depo, and I would always get my period 2 months on 2 months off. Until I didnt get my period no more.
it should start in about 35 days, if not a pregnancy test should be administered.
