Answer
I was on Depo for 6 years after I had my daughter. April 01 and I was due for my shot in May of 07. We decited that we were going to try again. My cycle started sept 07 and has been on time ever sence. So I believe each person is different and should consult there doctor!
Answer
The amount of time that it takes for your cycle to return will vary based on numerous factors. Some of these include, how long you were on the shot, how heavy your cycles were to beging with, your weight change, etc. One thing that we often forget is that if you have your last shot in January, then the shot will continue working as scheduled until your next shot would be due. Therefore, you didn't 'go off' the shot in January, you stopped taking it when your next scheduled shot would have been, which would be April. Your count should begin in April.
I've known many, many women, and participated in past studies. If you want to be able to have children immediately upon stopping your birth control method, then you should stick to the pill. Depo provera is for long term birth control use and anyone considering using it should be made aware by their doctor, that it will take time for it to completely leave your body and for your cycles to return to normal.
The average time to return to a normal period is 6-24 months. Usually, the longer you've been on depo, the longer it will take for your cycle to return. However, if you are concerned, please see your doctor or a fertility specialist who may be able to help you begin your cycles (usually through the use of a DNC).
Answer
It can take a while before your body gets back to normal after stopping depo. It really depends on how long you were on the drug, I was on depo for four years, and didnt get my period for five months after stopping depo.
Answer
with me, i took the depo shot for a year a half and then in dec 04 was when my last shot was due...i didnt take it..and then on feb 2 05 i got my period back...i dont think it hoenstly really matters how long you are on the needle for...it depends on your body..when your on depo it stops you from ovulating..which stops your period..so after your body has been shut down whether it be a year or 4 or less...it takes time to get back to normal...i know someone who was on the needle for only 2 shots..and her period didnt come back for almost a year...so as said..depends on your body...pamala21
Answer

Answer
I took my last shot Feb '05 and still have not got my period and it is November '05. I am starting to worry that I could be infertile is that possible?
Answer
I got my last shot in March of 05 and its now November 05 and I still havent gotten my period. I spotted once over the summer for 2 days but other than that nothing. When i was supposed to go for my June injection I had them prescribed me birth control pills instead. I asked the doctor if it was normal that I wasnt getting my period yet and he said it is completely normal and as long as I was taking the birth control pills correctly I didnt have to worry about getting pregnant.
Answer
I was on Depo from June 2003 until August 2005. I was due for another shot in november, but decided t get off. Since then I have had 2 periods. 1 in December 2005 and in January 2006.*
- I was on depo from Aug 2004 till sept. 05 and I still haven't had my period. I was suppsoe to get my next shot in nov.05 but didn;t.......nothing is happening..... should I be scared? haven't been sexually active, just scared that I can't reproduce?
Answer
I have been on the shot for 2 year and I just decided to to off of the shot... I was supposed to get another shot on March 4 of 2008, I skipped it and I came on my period a month after missing the shot... I believe it just effects us in different ways!!!
