Re: Any one taken the depo shot?

  • I'm assuming by MC you mean menstral cycle and not miscarraige...We call it AF around here just to keep the confusion down. When I stopped depo, I traded it for ortho evra, so I'm not much help. However, I have a friend who stopped depo 2 years ago and she still hasn't had a normal cycle. It's pretty hard on your system. Good luck.

  • If you will look over there <----------- you will see the bump glossary. It will help with the abbreviations.

    A little advice...lurk, lurk, and lurk some more. Get a feel for the board so you know what is kosher and what will get you flamed. And for the love of all that is holy, don't use the words "prego" and "preggers". That is not looked upon lightly around here.

    That said...Welcome and GL!

  • my SIL stopped her last shot in August and just got AF a few weeks ago, I have also had friends who were on it and went over a year before they got AF. It can take a little while, are you not using another form of BC at the time? Have you talked to your doctor about this?
  • At one point I went on the depo shot for about a year. I thought, "This is great, I just need to go to the dr once every 3 months instead of taking a pill every day!" Well I really feel like they don't inform you well of all the side effects. Once I stopped taking the shot I was on a very light period (needed a light tampon or a couple panty liners a day) for 6 MONTHS straight! I called my dr concerned a few times & they said it is very typical for you to be on your period for up to 12 months! It was aweful and I woud never recommend that birthcontrol to anyone! Good luck, I hope you get back to "normal" soon!

  • I was on depo for several years (like 9...). It can take a while for you to get your cycle back to normal. I thought for sure that it would take forever for me. I started taking a multivitamin that is high in folic acid.

    I have gained about 20 pounds since coming off of it despite working out like a mad woman! It only took about 6 weeks for me to start spotting and about 9-10 week for me to have a very light period, but my cycles are still way off. One month it was 36 days and the next month it was 24.

    Everyone is different. It could take no time at all, or a couple years. Best of luck!

  • I was on Depo for 6 or 7 years and stopped last July. I switched to BCP and went off that in January. It took 92 days for me to have some anovulatory bleeding (I never ovulated and it was just like a very light period) and then finally FINALLY last week I O'd for the first time. It was somewhere around 120-130 days after going off BCP but about 10 months after going off depo. I was on the low dose version of Depo for the last 2-3 years of being on it, although I'm not sure if that even matters.

    I wish I would have known ahead of time how long it can take to get back to normal, I probably wouldn't have been on it for nearly as long.

  • My last depo shot was Feb and I am waiting for AF. It can take a long time to get a cycle, let alone a normal one. Studies show that it doesnt matter if you were on for 3 months or 3 years, it takes the average woman just as long to "return to fertility".
