i had taken the depo shot for about 9
months. i stopped taken them in april of
2007. and have had one period since then.
i took a pregnancy test last week and it
was negative. has anyone else had this
problem and what did you do? i am a 19
year old mother of a one year old and am
married and a little nervous that i might
be infertile because of depo.

After getting off Depo, it takes a while
for your cycle to regulate and come back.
So if you just got off the shot in April,
it sounds like you should not be worrying
about not being regular yet.
i hope so. i mean i never ever had a
problem with my periods before. do you
know about how long it is till i am back
to normal ( i know everyone is different)
i am on a pill now that they gave me after
my birth that doesn't effect periods at
all (and didn't before either) i don't
remember what it was called.

Some women may take up to 18 months before
their cycles are completely back to normal
and they can conceive.
When I got off Depo, I think it was
something like six or seven months after
getting that last shot when I finally got
my period again.

I read on google that it takes about 6
months or so for the meds in the Depo shot
to leave your body compleatly... If i was
you i would re-search the side effects of
the depo shot, or i would call your
doctor to make sure you are ok.
I bet everything is just fine The depo was just
messing with your hormones... Now your
hormones are just balencing back out....

I was just talking to the dr about this as
I am switching from depo back to the pill
since there has been so much controversy
over the shot. She said that it can take
up to a year or two to get your cycle back
to normal and that I may not even have a
period for a while. I've done plenty
research on getting off the shot and I
would say you have nothing to worry about.
It is completely normal.. i'm not an
expert but just from what i've read
everywhere- that it may take a while to
return your body to normal. No worries. If
you have any major concerns i would discus
them with your dr.

it took me almost 2 years to become
fertille again after stopping the shot, be
carfeul and start taking calcium pills
are you serious. that is horrible. i will
start doing that right away. i never knew
it took such a toll on your body. i got
mine done at planned parenthood and they
said 6 months. i have heard some real
horror stories about the shot too.
