Question

I am looking for someone who has been on depo provera fro 2-4 months only and completly come off of it. I have taken depo for 2 months and its been 3 months since ive taken it but i havent gotten my period back yet. I would like to know if possible how long it took those ppl to get their normal cycles back . Also any side effects pls

thank you

Answer 1

i have also been on depo, but i have been on it for a year stopped it for 3 months and started it again. I asked the doctor how long it can take and apparently it can be up to a year but if you only were on it for 3 months then i think you should start sooner,unless you are pregnant because you can still get pregnant even though you havent started your period.See a doctor

Answer 2

It all depends. Some women get it back three months after the depo shot, and some women take a LOT longer than that.

I was on it for four years and I will NEVER EVER go back onto depo again!! It is the worst contraceptive I have ever dealth with.

After five years you need a bone density check as it really screws up your bone health.

You can gain a lot of weight, lose your sexual appetite, and when you are off and want to get pregnant it can take quite some time to get pregnant. Some women have had to go to fertility doctors.

You might need to get on the pill to finally regulate your periods. That's what I had to do.

Answer 3

Do a search on Depo Provera and you'll find info on how long it may take your period to return. I've been on it a decade and stay on it primarily for that side effect.

Answer 4

it might desire to be purely from depo provera .. which i'll never take lower back btw .... yet purely to ascertain .... take an at domicile attempt. if that is helpful don't get yet another shot. it especially not likely so which you would be pregnant yet those do sound like being pregnant warning signs.
