How Long Depo Stays In Your System Posted: 05-12-05 11:13am
Hello,
i just stopped taking the depo shot
because of these extremely painful
migraines that I get about once a week.
I'm now trying ortho-evra and this is the
second week being on the new birth
control.
I've had three killer migraines since and
wonder does anyone know how long it will
take for depo to get out of my system?
Thanks!

I have noticed a little weight gain but
then i lose it in the end. I haven't
stopped. Still using it. It's the safest
way to go if you smoke too.

I didnt have any problems for 3 years. But
I did start to have pregnancy symptoms:
headaches, morning sickness, loss of
energy, you know that stuff! Well I was
not pregnant just some side effects from
being on the shot. It had tricked my body
into truely thinking it was pregnant. So I
had to stop. I loved it while I was on it.
I have migrains anyway so that never came
into consideration. They were not more or
less with the depo shot. It's hard to say
how long it takes to completly get out of
your system it takes some longer and some
its within the first month. Just give it a
couple months on the new one and see how
it goes. If you are still having the
migrains go talk to your dr again. Just
hang in there! I know it sucks! What are
you taking for the migrains?
