I took two depo provera injections last year, one in june and one in september. I stopped taking depo after the one in sept. because of the drastic weight gain and fear of developing other severe side effects. I only had two periods since the last shot...one in feb. and one in march...I haven't had a period since march of this year and its now june. A couple of weeks ago I started getting pains in my ovaries (like little sharp needles pains) and slight spotting. My gyno gave me a pelvic exam and said my pap and blood work is normal. They want me to get an ultrasound to check for polycystic ovaries...I'm not sure if I need to...it might just be from the depo. Oh and I also have painful intercourse which the doctor can't seem to explain. I was hoping to start ttc this dec, but who knows now. Any info. would be much appreciated.

You need to have the ultrasound done. The doctor can give you something to get your periods normal again. It normally takes a year after you get off the depo to get a normal cycle started.

When I took the Depo shot I was on my period for 3 months. I had pain during intercourse and the sharp pain in my ovaries but it was due to toxic shock syndrom because I had to use so many tampons. If your insurance covers the ultrasound go for it. Anything that will help them find out what's going on with your body is good. Also, see if they might try a different type of birth control to get your body back on track.

The depo had nothing to do with this. Main probs are weight gain and hair loss.

The depo would be long out of your body. Doesnt sound depo related.
