Sorry, I know this has nothing to do with
"teen pregnancy" but this is the most
active board on this site, so I figured I
might get an answer here! I used to post
here quite a bit back in the day (when
kia_breizze and all them were here all the
time) but under a different nickname.
Anyways, for my question.....
I got my first ever depo shot this past
week.... I know it says to get it within
the first 5 days of your period, which I
did.... 2 days in.... So anyways I got
my shot, and my period went away (the same
day!) is depo supposed to do this?? I
know your not supposed to get your period
while on the shot... But I thought that
you would at least finish the period you
were on before then. I asked a pharmacist
today and she said that she didn't know if
it was supposed to do that or not.... So
I figured I would ask here, taking for
granted that some of you have been on the
shot before, or are currently. Has this
happened to you? Or should I be worried?
Thanks in advance girls!!

I'm Not Sure About Periods, But... Posted: 03-18-06 20:19pm
I have heard that depo can cause all sorts
of problems with brittle bones and the
like, so be careful with that.

If u dont' mind me asking u how old u are?
And then I will tell u that it will do
that. I was on depo for two years
straight and I was lucky if I had three
periods the whole time. And just to let u
know that there is law suits out there on
the depo that's why I came off of it when
I did. Also that I works goood. Not
saying u should do what I did but I no
protection at all and never got pregnant.
But please don't test it to make sure.
And if u are on time for your shots like u
should then u don't have to worry about
anything.

Thanks for your replies.... To answer
your questions.... I am 20 years old, I
don't really think that I am pregnant,
because the last time I had sex was about
a month ago and I was on oral
contraceptives then... I mean its a
possibility that I could be pregnant, but
as of right now im ruling that out. The
only reason my doctor switched me over to
the shot is because with the pill my pap
tests kept coming back irregular... So
she thought that maybe it was the pill
that was doing it, and decided to let me
try this to see if it made a
difference.... As for getting pregnant
while on the shot.... Thats difficult
right now, im in a steady long-term
relationship, but my b/f just went to jail
about a month ago so I won't be having sex
for awhile to come anyways! But I will
definitely be using condoms while on this
because ive heard too many stories of
girls getting pregnant while on the shot.
