I have been on this shot for almost eight years as treatment for endometriosis. I recently stopped it because the bad symptoms outweighed the good. How long does it take to be regular again? Was there any symptoms from stopping the shot? I feel like I'm going through premature menopause, mood swings, hot flashes, and I'm only 22. If anyone has gone through this, please help with some of my questions.

I was on Depo for 4 years. It took me 8 months to get my period back. And a few more months for them to become regular. Also, my periods changed. Prior to Depo my periods were 7 days of "OMG, I'm going to bleed to death!" After Depo it is 4 days of "This isn't so bad." However, I did gain cramps....I didn't have those prior.

It could take up to or over a year to get regular again.
I had no symptoms from stopping the shot, only RELIEF from being off of it after four years of HELL.

It took me over a year to get regular so if you aren't regular after a year go see your doctor
