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
What does no period negative pregnancy test and IUD mean?
Maybe the IUD failed to work or was expelled during one of your periods and you did get pregnant and you just took the pregnancy test too soon. Either way, go to the doctor, because that's something that needs professional medical attention. Don't mess around with your health. Taking good care of yourself should be your top priority.
AnswerThere are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). EtcTo ensure the best results:
- Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest
- Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results
- Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low.
- urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip
- Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

When do you want to start a family?) She'll offer testing for sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV. She may offer you an exam and possibly a Pap smear, depending on your age, but these parts aren't required to get on birth control.

Is it normal to have your period just after an IUD was put in by a doctor?
Yes it is normal. The tissues inside are very fragile. If you should have excessive bleeding at any given time while you have the IUD in, please see your doctor as soon as possible. You may not be able to use this method of contraceptive. Good luck Marcy

Can the iud string come off and fall out of you?
Because it is securely attached to the IUD, an IUD string is unlikely to fall out. If you find your string is missing, contact your health care provider and use a backup method of birth control until you confirm that the IUD is still in place. A missing string can mean the IUD fell out without you knowing, but typically the string just moved up into the cervix.
Do you need special tools to remove the IUD?
The strings are slippery, so the health care provider usually uses ring forceps or something similar to grab the strings after placing a speculum. No other special tools are needed for a normal IUD removal.
After stopping Mirena, you can choose any method you like that's a good match for your medical history. Many women continue to use hormonal methods to continue to have lighter and less painful periods.
If you get pregnant while using an IUD is it better to have it removed or leave it in?
It is very very rare to conceive while using a IUD but if this should happen, then you need to contact your health care provider immediately to have the IUD removed. You can then choose to continue or terminate the pregnancy. If you choose an abortion, you can get another IUD after the procedure, or choose another method of birth control. For your safety, however, you can't leave the IUD in while pregnant.
Does the IUD prevent pregnancy or just terminate it?
It just prevents it, an IUD is a form of birth control, not abortion. And the morning after pill or Plan-B must be taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sex or birth control failure to ensure that pregnancy can be prevented.
