New And Wondering Something (i Hope Somebody Can Help Me) Posted: 01-04-05 00:15am
I was wondering if somebody can answer a
question for me. Hope you can. See april
of 2004 I took my last depo shot because
me and my hubsand wants to try to have a
baby. The whole I was on the shot
spotted which would last for two weeks.
My periods was still like that after I
stopped taking the shot. Except for last
dec. I spotted for two weeks and stopped
for about a week and then started back on
my period. And it has been alittle
heavier sents the first time I started the
shot. My question is does anybody know if
it is normal for my body to that. Or
should I go see a doc. And also if
anybody has had the same problem.

I was on depo but when I went off I went
directly onto the patch.. From what I
keep hearing about depo is that it can
take awhile to get back to normal with
your cycle and to get the meds fully out
of your system even just to get pregnant.
It obviously depends on the person.. But
it sounds like your body just needs some
time to get back on a cycle again. I
would say if your still experience
irregular bleeding after another month or
two then see your doctor about it...

With depo, it is not unusual to take a
whole year from you stop it before
everything is back to normal. That
includes ability to become pregnant.

I only had three rounds of the depo shot,
but did not bleed the enitre time I was on
it, nor did I start a period for about 1yr
after. Many years later I still could not
get a normal period even after trying the
pill. Because I was trying to get
pregnant my doctor tested me only to find
out my body was not ovulating. Because I
had two pregnancies prior to this (very
easy, accidental, conceptions) I believe
it was depo which caused this as well as
many other side effects. I have read many
stories of women who have gone through the
same problems as I did with depo, but have
also read that the standard is 18 months
after your last shot your system should
return to normal. Hopefully you are
approaching this length and will be able
to concieve soon.

Thanks for the help everybody. You have
helped more then you know. My last shot
was in april of 2004. But I have never
had a normal period before I started the
taking the depo shot. So maybe the shot
is getting out of my system and me and my
hubsand will concieve soon. We are really
hopeing that we do. We have talked about
if something is wrong with me and we can't
concieve that we will adopt. But I am
still hopeing that we can concieve. But I
am going to give us a year or two then if
we haven't concieved by then I am going to
go the doctor. If not before.
