Ok I'm 17 and I'll be 18 in less than a
month, and I've been with my boyfriend for
a year. the thing is my last period was
march 15. I had protected sex. I used a
condom and am currently on the shot, but I
had sex the first week I had the shot
which is considered unsafe without a
condom. So I'm late and I took a home
pregnancy test last week which came up
negative. But I'm still conserned because
I still don't have my period. I was
wondering if the shot could prolong your
period or if I should just buy another
test. thankyou for any responses!!!!!!

Are We Talking About Depo-provera? Posted: 04-24-07 23:25pm
First of all.. when did you expect your
period and how late are you? Also is this
your first cycle on the depo? I have
tried depo once and it made me spot the
entire three months... but there are other
women that have that can give you some
more insight. But I was under the
impression that most women do not have
periods while they are on this method of
birth control.
I did alittle research for you:
Depo-Provera is a hormone (progestin) that
is injected by a health care professional
into the woman’s buttocks or arm muscle
every three months (pregnancy prevention
begins 24 hours after injection).
If you have more questions about the way
your birth control works contact your Dr.
and ask for more information. Also do a
search online it will help to understand
how it works.
