You do not need to have the Depo Provera injection during menstruation. The health care provider should be able to advise you about when you should get the injection. If you have a negative pregnancy test, and can commit to retesting for pregnancy in three weeks, there's no reason that you shouldn't get Depo Provera that day.
It's not. You can start Depo Provera at any time in your cycle.
so that they know you arent pregnant?
If you have not ever in your life had a period then no but if you have had your period before then yes it is VERY possible
Yes
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 no need to change sides or use the same side for the depo provera injection. There are no special side effects from having the injection on the same side.
Any concerns about your body should be brought to your doctors attention only they can tell you if this is normal or not for your body hope everything works out for the best Good Luck and God Bless!!
You can have the contraceptive injection Depo Provera in the last few days of your Pill packet. Â If you have not taken the Pill for a while, or used any other form of contraception, you will probably have to have a pregnancy test before they will inject you with Depo Provera. Â Alternatively, they may ask you to come back for your injection while you are having a menstrual period.
The depo provera injection is a white, milky color. You should be able to see this in the shot before they give it to you. If it is not a white milky color, make sure to confirm with the doctor that it is in fact the depo provera injection.
The depo shot is known to take affect 24hours after you have it injected if your on your period. If your not on your period it could take up to 1week after the injection for it to begin working. Always use a second form of birth control until week 3 if you plan on having unprotected intercourse.
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 not stop your period it depends on your body and how it interact with the depo
Depo Provera's recommended reinjection schedule is 12-14 weeks. There is a grace period after that up to 16 weeks. The main reason that women get pregnant with Depo is that they don't adhere to the reinjection schedule. If you're having trouble getting into the office on time for your injection, consider another method, like the implant or IUD, that don't require regular revisits.
i fell pregnant eleven months after my last injection of depo and had not yet had a period(since last injection) so was not using any protection so be aware unless you wish to have a child doctor told me upto to twelve months before normal cycle would return
