Re: Any one taken the depo shot?
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!
i gained like 25 ibs in 3 months that is when i stopped taking it. im hoping AF comes back soon i have baby fever!!
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.
