You can receive a depo provera injection immediately, though if you are not on your period or you aren't having periods then it is wise to use alternative contraception for 7 days. Any health care professional will usually want a pregnancy test performed to ensure that you are not pregnant as a result of missing the injection.
You can get the next Depo Provera shot as soon as ten weeks after the last one.
After your last Depo-Provera shot, it will take roughly three months to have your first period. As soon as you resume having your periods, ovulation should return to normal as well.
I read that it takes 10 months to get pregnant after getting off of the depo shot.
yes you can get pregnant i was on depo for 3 monthes and as soon as i missed my seconde shot i got pregnant and i still had an irregular period but still concieved
I looked on DepoProvera.com, and they have this toll free number you can call with questions and concerns: 1-866-554-DEPO
yes.i was on depo for a year.as soon as i got it for the 1st time then next month i stopped having my period.then when i got off it the next month i started my period back like normal
You are supposed to get it every 11-13 weeks, so yes, you can get it every 11 weeks. Any sooner could mess with the hormone cycles that the shot creates. I personally get it exactly every 11 weeks just to be safe.
about 3 months
It means you may not be tolerating the shot. You need to see your doctor about changing your method of contraception. It can make some people slightly nauseous, but if you are vomiting a lot you should see your doctor quite soon.
I was told it takes up to 3 yrs before you could get pregnant. Before i took my first shot the doctor said now you are not planning on having another baby anytime soon are you and i said nooo y? she said cuz it could take around 3 yrs to get pregnant again.
Yes. A few weeks after I received the depo injection I've experienced extreme pain in all my joints (jaw to toes) as well as muscle spasms and constant aching. Get off the drug as soon as possible before it does more damage!
If you'd like to switch from Depo Provera to the birth control pill, you can start the pill anytime after the 10th week of Depo Provera, up until the last day Depo was due, with no interruption in pregnancy protection. There is no need to wait until the first period after Depo Provera; doing so puts you at risk of pregnancy. If you start later than 15 weeks after the last shot, you should use a backup method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've taken seven pills correctly.
