Combining Depo Provera With Contraceptive Pill.... Posted: 10-04-04 19:27pm
Three weeks ago I had the dp injection and
recently I have had bleeding. I took a
few contraceptive pills (on consecutive
days) to try to stop the bleeding while I
was with my boyfriend. It has just
occurred to me whether this could have any
effect on the contraceptive abilities of
the dp injection, however I would have
thought I would be ultra safe taking both.
Is there cause for worry as I do not
want a pregnancy at this stage of my
life.
Many thanks for any feedback.

No, you're just fine. Bc pills are often
used w/ depo to help with the bleeding.
There's no extr chanced of pregnancy.

I have the same problem. I'm on depo now
and bleeding. I was given ortho but my
doctor told me not to take it till nov.
When the shot will be wearing off. Seeing
that nov. Is only a week away, would it
be ok to start taking the pill now? I
also asked my doc that and she said no it
wouldn't help with the bleeding. I have
read that it does help. Did it help you
with your bleeding? I just want any
advice on how to stop the bleeding and
spotting I soo tired of it!
