Depo Question
Posted: 06-01-05 13:48pm

When you get off depo and your periods have returned back to normal does that mean your ovulating again?? And is it out of your system for good???

That is what that means. Once you are having a period regularly, you are ovulating again.

It can take two years for the depo to be entirely out of your system. I have also taken depo for 6 years and have quit for 1 year and 7 months. My periods are just now starting to get back to normal.

I was on the depo shot for a year, and when I got off of it, my period was really messed up. Sometimes I would bleed for two weeks, and then sometimes I wouldn't. It's been like 6 months since I have been off of it and i've had my period normally for 2 months. It kinds sucks getting off of the depo shot because you never know when you are gonna start bleeding.
