I wanted to ask if anyone here has taken
the shot that prevents pregnancy? Im
married and I want to have a baby and the
doctor said every wowen reacts differently
as of time to be able to have a baby.
Does anyone know of something that might
help me get pregnant earlier . Please

I've heard that depending on how long
you've been on it it can cause you to go
sterile or have many problems with getting
pregnant.....

I was on the depo shot for 3 years, I got
off of it in february 2003, and was
pregnant in february 2004, I had my
daughter on november 5th 2004, and im on
the depo shot again. It protected me very
well, and I easily got pregnant right
after getting off it.

I was on the depo shot . I think I took
maybe 4 shots. But I quit takeing them
because me and my hubsand is trying to
have a baby. Haven't found anything to
help speed it up. But I am hopeing soon.
My last shot was april of 2004. But if it
was easy for you to get pregnant from the
first time you stopped taking then maybe
it won't be to hard the second time.

I actually read in the paperwork they gave
me, that after getting of the shot to be
sure to use protection because pregnancy
is a lot more likely. Apparently they
were right...

I never actually got any paperwork when I
went and got the shot. The only papers I
got was for the folic acid. And for the
self breast exam to. That is the only
paperwork that I got. But I guess there
is just someplace who wants to come back
and get some information so they can
charge you more money

possibility that you can get pregnant on
depo and my clinic told me yes. I have
been on depo for over a year now and I

in my belly. I have had blood tests and
home pregnancy tests and all came back
neg. please somebody help me. I am
worried.

You are definitely not pregnant if you are
getting negative pregnancy tests,
especially blood tests. They would detect
pregnancy within the first month... and
especially if you were far enough along to
feel something moving.

depo shot

I was on the shot for 6 months and
couldn't get pregnant for 3 years. But I
guess it wasn't time. Though antibiotics
may have had something to do with it.
About 3 mos after I was hospitalized and
pumped full of antibiotics for 2 days I
got pregnant with the same person I had
been trying w/ for a year. Also doctors
started talking to me like getting
pregnant may be harder for me but magic
happens. I have a beautiful 11 month old
girl now. I am on the shot again but I
think I might be pregnant because I
remember the first time I had the shot
after I had the baby they told me to wait
2 wks before having intercourse. When I
switched doctors there was about a 4 wk
delay on getting another shot. (4wks after
one was due) They didn't mention anything
about waiting and I didn't so i'm not sure
what's going on. i'll have to take a test
soon I guess....
