Q: Pregnancy After Depro Provera
asked by: flowrfall on November 2nd, 2005

I am 39 (40 in feb 2006) and have 3 children ages 20, 12, and 1 yr old. I had no problems conceiving with my last child. In fact I conceived on the first try. I had not been on birth control in years when I conceived my las baby, and was using condoms before that. I never had problems conceiving ever. In fact I was on the pill with my other two pregnancies when I became pregnant. However, after my last child was born 1 year ago, I went on depro provera in april of this year. I had 2 shots and did not go back in the beginning of october when I needed my 3rd shot. How long does it take to get pregnant after stopping depro provera? I bleed for a month before my 3rd shot was due. I now have spotting but is on time for when I am to receive my period, but am not pregnant. I am started to think maybe because of my age I will not be able to conceive?

I got pregnant twice on the pill as a teen, went on depo when I was about 19 for a yr. It then took hubby and I about 4 yrs to conceive after, I am now 26 with a 4 1/2month old. Depo seems to mess with your system. Could be age or the depo. I would talk to a doc about it.

With Depo
It all depends. My cousin got pregnant after only a 3 weeks of coming off it. Others it takes a long time. I think it depends on the person. I am coming off and it is seriously screwing with my system. I have bled 3 times this month and each time was no more than 3 or 4 days. Good luck

Well
After getting pregnant twice on the pill my dr told me to try the shot, since I am over the weight limit for the patch and seasonale wasn't approved and I couldn't afford to pay for an iud.

Hi girls! I had the depo shot back in 2001 and have been trying to concieve since 2002, no luck yet and it is getting very depressing. I only had the shot once and I am glad that I didnt get it again after hearing the stories that I have about it. Anyways, how long did it take everyone to get pregnant after having the shot?

Hey may!!!! Long time no talk! Been busy with a sick bubs! Well it took me about 4 yrs. We weren't trying hard but we were not using protection. But like jamie said maybe it's time to check with a specialist one day when hubby is off the road and home!

Hi blaze! Actually, hubby and I did both get checked. I had the hsg done and he had the lovely sperm test. His swimmers are fast lol and my tubes were clear. They are unsure of what is going on. My family doctor is off on maternity leave and will be back in the new year. So I am waiting till then to go back to her and get some more appointments set up. I was told many years ago that if I wanted to have kids to do it within 5 years.. And that was in 2000, so we have been working on it.. Hard to tho when hubby is away so much, however I did have him home from the time we got married till just last sunday. No luck tho.. Not for lack of trying haha. We thought I was this month, because I havent been feeling well at all and sleeping all of the time. I did tho just get back on my med for depression as I have been off work since june for that. Anyways, I hope that we have much better luck in the new year when my doctor is back to work. Take care girl and I will talk with you again soon. Hugs for the wee one and I hope he feels better soon.

Hi jlee, as you will read in lil blazes post from me, it is not for lack of seeing the right doctors. I hope to have more tests done in the new year and go from there. I am sure it will happen when the time is right, I just wish that it would be sooner rather than later. Take care!
