You should assume that you no longer have protection from Depo Provera when you are late for the next shot. If you don't want to get pregnant, start using another Birth Control method at that time.
yes im small and it works fine with me
No, Some women do not get their period while on the depo shot while some women might. You might also spot the entire 3 months you have the depo shot in your system and some women such as yourself do not get anything. Unless your late on your depo shot I would not worry. If that doesnt help there is always the trusty pregnancy test!
pregnant
No, amoxicillin will not decrease the effectiveness of the Depo-Provera to prevent an unintended pregnancy. Since the Depo-Provera shot bypasses the absorption phase in the gastrointestinal tract required by oral contraceptives, antibiotics such as amoxicillin will not interfere with the effectiveness of the Depo shot.
If your periods have started after stopping Depo Provera, you're certainly at risk for pregnancy. Signs of pregnancy are missing periods and a positive pregnancy test.
It can cause you to increase weight, but not necessarily just where you get the shot. Im currently taking the shot and my breast and butt has increased tremendously! I went up two sizes in my clothing.
pennesillin.
I got ONE depo shot in Jan 09...still havent gotten pregnant and its Nov 09. Got my period 3 months after the shot, but no signs of ovulation....all ovulation tests are negative, every month. Im very frustrated and Im tired of wondering if "maybe this month"...I wouldn't recommend depo to anybody....
As far as i know, the hormones from the shot will remain in your body for about a year. Depending on your body, you might be able to get pregnant within that time but im not sure how safe for the baby that would be. The hormone can cause birth defects so most likely it is best to wait a year.
it is always possible u could be pregnant since no form of bc is 100% effective. when i was on depo i use to spot for 4-6 weeks before my next sht was due but i had no other symptoms. how long have u been on the shot? r ur breasts tender or anything?
most likely you are NOT pregnant because you got depo but check a pregnancy test to be sure. in case you were pregnant BEFORE the depo?
Well im no doctor, but i weighed 90lbs when i started depo, i was 114lbs within a year. i have been off depo for 5 months and ive lost 10 lbs. but everyone is different. it has alot to do with staying busy and will power to just push away from the table, cutting your servings of food in half.
