Q: Depo Provera Big Problems
asked by: Amanda Corbitt on April 18th, 2007

Evil or Very Mad I don't know about other people on this shot, but I took it for 2 years (18-20) and stopped because my husband and I wanted children. Well I figured it would take a little while for the shot to get out of my system (I've heard up to a year) but I am now fixing to turn 26 and still have had no menstrual cycle, and of course no baby. If anyone else has had this problem please let me know if you have been able to get it to where you actually had children.. I need answers for this !!!!

Have you talked to your ob-gyn? I was on Depo for five years. I have been off it for about two. I got my regular periods back within a few months. I don't know if it has effected my fertility at all though. I have not gotten pregnant. I also did not know that Depo can cause irreversible bone loss until I was off it. I was young, like you, when I was on it. I also did not know that it is not recommended for young people until after I was off it. Now, I don't recommend the shot to anyone.

Depo Shot
I was on the shot for over a year and it mad me crazy! As far as going off of it.... It took me over a year of being off it and then I got pregnant. I didn't have problems as far as my period goes. It took me about three or four months to get my regular cycle back. I hope this helps a little. You know if you talk to your OB-GYN they could give you a prescription to make you get your period. I have taken it and it is very effective.

I hated the shot as well. I was on it for a year and hated every bit of it. I not get a period for 3-4 months after getting off it. but took about another year for everythimg to go back to normal.
