hello, just asking a question hopefully someone can help me, well i went on the birthcontrol needle depo vera, excuse my spelling if it isnt correct, but anyways, went on it 4 years back. after two years we(me and my husband) decided we wanted another child. SO i have now been off the needle for two years and still nothing. I am not sure if i can even have kids anymore, but i asked my doctor about more information about the needle and he just wont tell me anything. I think its for security purposes because of what he did when i was pregnant(giving me two needles while i was pregnant) now any questions i ask he just avoids them. I have asked him plenty of times to get me tested to see if i could still get pregnant, and he keeps saying this isnt the right time. OK well i know it would be impossible for anyone to know if i could have kids, but just advice or anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated, thanks..

I would go to a new doctor. Ive been on depo provera for like 6 years. I went off waited about a year for my period to come back. I had 1 period and got pregnant again.after baby I went right back on. I wouldnt trust a doctor that wont answer questions. thats part of his job. Go to a new one and explain what happened. im sure youll get the help you need. good luck.

I hate that shot. I also took it after I lost my baby boy two years ago and have still not been able to get pregnant. There are other issues with my body that I hope to take care of very soon, but I feel like I wasn't given enough information about the shot and the doctor made it seem like it was an easy thing to do. It wasn't until after I got the shot that I read up on how it can delay your next pregnancy.
Check the internet and read up on Depo-Provera (that's the name of the shot). If your doctor is avoiding your questions, he must have messed up. Find a new doctor and possibly talk to a lawyer, to see if you might be able to sue.

I wonder if he just knows how bad the depo shot messed up your body.
When I was looking over birth control opions I decided that you couldnt PAY me to take depo because of so many stories just like this one. I read constantly that it takes women years to get pregnant after being on the shot, its not a nice thing at all.
I dont know why he would keep saying it isnt the right time without giving you an answer. I think you should get a second opinion.

Your doctors a crackhead...that's horrible that he refuses to help you. And he should be worried about giving you two injections while pregnant, depo provera causes miscarriages and birth defects if administered while pregnant. I took two injections last year but stopped because depo caused me to gain A LOT of weight immediately. I also stopped getting a period right away, gave me acne and oily skin, and was completely uninterested in sex (they use depo provera to chemically castrate male sex offenders...that explains everything). I know that when you take it for a while depo can cause a delay in fertility for many women. In your case though you should be fertile after two years of it out or your system. It took me 9 1/2 months to get pregnant from my last injection but I only took two shots total. You should consider an endocrinologist they can help you better than a gyno. Good luck

It can often take a while for your period to return to normal after depo provera. In fact some women even need to take birth control pills after depo provera to resume their cycles. I would strongly suggest that you find a new OB/GYN and talk to them about your situation as soon as possible. If a doctor is that dismissive of you and refuses to give you information then it is definitely time to find a new doctor.

Sounds like it is time for a new Dr. If you feel your Dr is not answering your question or helping you meet your goals, then find one who will. Remember the Dr's work for us. Sorry I can't answer your Depo questions

in case you mean the dep. Provera contraceptive injection, your shot might desire to be effectual on the instant, assuming you gained your shot throughout the time of your menstrual cycle. touch your physician to ask and get definitive techniques.
