Pregnancy And Depo Provera? Is It Possible? Posted: 06-21-05 14:21pm
I have been on the depo shot for six
months now (once every 3 months). I am
still having problems with bleeding too
early, or the fact that I am bleeding,
period. I have been told by my doctor
that I should not be having a period at
all after having the shot, but a month
after the shot, i'll start bleeding and
continue bleeding for about a month, and
have to start taking supplemental hormone
pills to stop it. As this is a terrible
nuissance, I am concerned about whether or
not you can get pregnant toward the end of
the three month cycle. I believe the
bleeding is caused from a shortage of the
hormones in your body, so I am a little
baffled by this. Can anyone give me an
accurate response?
