almost a year later and I am a little
worried. I'm only 19 and I am freaked

I was told it would take up to a year in a
half to two years before I would be able
to get pregnant after coming off of the
shot in nov. After being on the shot for
two years

I was on the shot for 2 years and some,
was off of it for 7 months before I got my
period back and then 2 months later I was
pregnant. It just all depends.

Infertility After Depo Provera Posted: 08-26-06 05:28am
I was wondering what if any long term
studies have been done on infertility and
depo provera,,, I took injections after an
unwanted pregnancy back in 1994 or 95. I
was 26 then and I was on the shot for 2
years, after the shot I recall having a
terrible time regaining my period, and was
induced and then bled for a month after,
before they begin to become normal. Now
of course I was young and had 3
pregnancies that were aborted, but prior
to the shot it seemed even on the pill
that I would get pregnant if I touched a
mans genitals. Anyways, after the shot I
began trying to get pregnant after about
2yrs. I have been having unprotected sex,
with 4 different parteners over the past
11 years. I got married 3 years ago and
we have been trying infatically to no
avail. My fertiltiy specialist sees no
reason as to why I cant get pregnant,
except my mid cycle progesterone level is
not extrememly high,, just a bit above
normal. I began only seeing a specialist
after my marriage. Now I know that I am
older, but I cant help to wonder if the
depo provera had something to do with it.
Its been 11 years now and still no
pregnancies at all. Any help or
directions to look would be greatly
appreciated.

I Think There Is a Link Too!! Posted: 09-02-06 18:28pm
I've been ttc for 2 years after being on
depo for 2 years. Now I have been told
i've got remature ovarian failure (pof).
All my periods went to pieces anyhting
from 14 days to 160 days!!! As a result
docs weren't overly concerned and only did
fsh after a year of tests etc. Which came
back high (56) and they have since
diagnosed me with pof.
I really believe the depo just made things
a whole lot worse.. Its a relatively new
drug and the meds are still finding more
and more adverse things about it as time
goes on!

I quite taking the shot 4 yrs ago when I
got mairried we have been trying for a
baby ever since with no luck. If I could
go back to when I was 15 I would never
have got started on the shot it . I
really think thats why I have had trouble.
So if there is anyone out there that has
any advice i'll take it

Depo & Fertility Posted: 02-07-07 12:09pm
After reading all of the horror stories on
this site, and being on depo for 7 yrs, my
husband and I decided to go off of it as
we wanted to plan for a pregnancy next
year. I did a lot of research due to the
know complications coming off depo with
regards to fertility returning, not to
mention all of the posts I read. The most
important things to know are that it does
store in the body's tissues.
Detox!!!Detox!!! Detox!!! I can't say
enought for detoxing. I did one the week
my shot expired hoping to help rid the
drug, apparently it worked. My last shot
was due nov 2006. The week after, my
period returned and ovulation was right on
schedule. I wanted to let everyone know
that I was not expecting this, and am now
5 wks preggers! Not what we were planning
at all. We are both a little shocked to
say the least. So, drink lots of water, @
least 8 glassed a day to fush out your
tissues where it stores. And finally,
excercise, and try to stay at your
recomended body weight. I fought the
erges to eat my way throught the years on
depo as recomended by my doctor after I
gained 10lbs. It can be fought! And good
luck ladies
