Answer 1

After the last shot of Depo Provera, it can take over 6 months for the drug to leave the body. You can try cleansing techniques to detox or eliminate the synthetic hormone from where it is stored in your body's tissues: drink tons of water, eat lots of fresh raw organic vegetables, drink raw vegetable juice, sweat in a steam room or sauna, get lots of exercise and fresh air. You can also ask at a health food store about herbal formulas or teas that help balance female hormones, or talk with a naturopathic physician or herbalist.

Answer 2

It is out of your body after the twelve weeks are up but the residual effects could last years.

I went on Kariva (pill) when my last shot that I never got was due and got my periods back in three months.

And, you only have a one week window to get the shot without needing a pregnancy test done first.

You CAN and people have gotten pregnant on the shot.

Answer 3

I heard that it takes up to 6 to 18 months.

I take depo provera and I love the stuff. It's the best. I have no side effects, it's convenient, and the best part of all I don't get periods anymore. Oh and I haven't gotten pregnant.

To the person that said it made your periods heavier, it only does that for the first few months and then your period completely stops.

Answer 4

Im on the shot, just got one today as a matter of fact and I called before I went because I didnt feel like having it done today, the nurse said Today was my last day and I would be in danger of getting pregnant after today. You have a two week window in which to get your shot, after that you are subject to getting pregnant. So I guess the answer is any time after the two weeks in which you have to get your next shot.

Answer 5

they say after that 3 month era it will be out of your equipment in as early as 2 weeks or some months for others. i changed into on the dep. for years and were given my very last shot in January and did not get a common cycle back till August. It really relies upon on the guy and how nicely they safeguard their body is what my healthcare professional instructed me. desire that permits

Answer 6

well my hormones were messed up for ~1 year after my last shot. and now, 5 years later, i still my hormones are out of wack...

(but like hotchick said, one depo shot should clear your body after a 3-months--hence why you need to take it every three months...but the effects of having all that exogenous hormone in your body affects your natural hormonal signaling--hence why it takes about 6months to a year to get back on a "normal, regular" cycle)

Answer 7

I was told up to a year. When I took it, it caused uncontrollable, constant, heavy bleeding for well over a month. I stopped taking it and my doc gave me pills to regulate my period again. It's been 10 months and I'm still not back to normal yet. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than I did.
