Answer

Good luck trying. I had one shot in 1999 and I still havent had a regular period or been able to get pregnant. I get 3 periods a year and I have been recently diagnosed with endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and although my doctor cant prove it, he suspects it was triggered by taking depo-provera. Two surgeries later and lots of meds, and nothing has changed. I hope everything works out for you though. Good luck.

ANSWER

How long does it take to get it out of your system?? My best friend got the shot a few times and SEVEN years later of trying to conceive is unsuccessful.

YOU CAN BECOME STERILE. I was so mad on behalf of my friend that I did a load of research about this drug and am officially disgusted what women go through for the "convenience" of this anti-conception injection. I feel angry that pharmaceutical companies gloss over very real side-effects.

You can loose your bone density, increase your chances of cervical cancer, migraines, ectopic pregnancy, and anemia, among other things. I recommend reviewing all sides of a drug like this before taking it, not just the information offered by the doctor who will forget your name when you leave the office, or may have personal bias regarding general population trends.

This is not a safe drug in my opinion.

Answer:

I was taking Depo-Provera for 1 yr. It took about 18 months for me to get pregnant. We were trying from about a month after I took my last shot and I started to get frustrated because I thought I was sterile. Now my son will be 5 in August and I'm looking forward to my second child. I think Depo-Provera works differently with every person. It sometimes may cause weight change, hair loss, appetite change, mood swings etc. So if you are thinking about using this drug, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!
