The first shot of Depo Provera is usually given during or a few days after the start of a menstrual period.
After your last Depo-Provera shot, it will take roughly three months to have your first period. As soon as you resume having your periods, ovulation should return to normal as well.
Lupron injections usually last about 3 months, and 2 injections are usually given in sequence for endometriosis treatment. You will likely not have a period for at least 6 months, and sometimes it can take a few months to become regular after the medication has left your system.
It took me a year to get my period back after I stopped depo. Good luck!
After the last shot of Depo Provera, it can take over 6 months for the drug to leave the body.But you should start another form of birth control after 6-12 weeks after your last shot.
Some women stop menstruating on depo and they do not get pregnant.
You can get Depo Provera at any time in your cycle. Getting the first Depo Provera during your period is easier because it becomes effective faster (within 24 hours) when you take it in the first seven days of your period. If you get it at any other time in your cycle, you'll get a pregnancy test at the time of the injection. You should repeat the pregnancy test in two weeks. You also need to use a back up method of birth control for seven days.
Every woman's body is different. The nurse told me it would take 3 months. I haven't had a period for the entire time I have been on the depo shot. But.. I have had the vaginal discharge that is sort of rare. The nurse also told me if/when you do have your first period after starting the depo shot, it can last up to 3 weeks.
Depo Provera is meant to prevent ovulation so that you can avoid pregnancy.
You can take a pregnancy test at anytime if you think you might be pregnant. Even though it is common to take up to a year for a woman's fertility to return after having been on Depo-Provera, you are no longer protected from pregnancy 3 months after your last injection.
I would worry to much. When I was on depo I got my period for the entire time I was on it and for 3-4 after I stopped. Some women just react to depo in this way. Of course you should probably let your doctor know when you go to get your next shot.
Your period will start within 7 days
