my friend stopped takin depo 7 months ago and is still waiting for a period
Your doctor should let you switch back to the pill right away, when i went off of the depo i started my pack of pills the day my depo shot ran out, maybe you should go to a different doctor
You can use anything you like - pads, tampons, cup -- with your period after stopping depo provera.
You should contact the prescriber for advice specific to your situation. Usually when hormones are offered due to prolonged spotting on Depo, the patient can stop taking them at her discretion. Irregular bleeding may resume when you stop them.
You can try to get pregnant at any time after stopping Depo. There is no need for a waiting period.
I was on the depo for 3 months wich is one injection back in Sep09' and its now Feb10' and i still haven't got my period. Is there anything wrong with me? Please help!!
There is not a medication that is specific to helping you get your period to back to what it was prior to beginning the depo shot. It can take more than 10 months for the body to return to normal.
If you are talking about depo provera than the only thing you can do is switch back to the pill and that will bring back your period and make it regular - other than that there is nothing you can do - SWIM was on depo for a few years and she didn't get it back for 4 years which was when she started the pill - but she was also a heroin addict and had an eating disorder (both of which make you not have your period)
It is kind of a up in the air when it comes to the most infamous Depo.. Some people still have their period others wont.
yes it is. I've been on it for 2 months now and my period is basically like 3 days
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.
It is common to have no period when using Depo Provera.
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.
