I have two boys, and I know what my body feels like when I am pregnant. I didn't get my last shot in Feb. I have been on Depo for a few years now and wanted a break! I have taken a few tests, even one at my doctor's office, and all of them have come back neg. Now, after reading all of the postings, I am wondering if it's the weird symptoms like everyone else, or am I correct... and I am pregnant??? I was thinking of just getting a blood test to be 100% sure... Wish me luck!!! |

The book Contraceptive Technology says: "It is not possible to discontinue Depo Provera immediately. Weight gain, depression, breast tenderness, allergic reactions, and menstrual irregularities may continue until Depo Provera is cleared from a woman's body, about 6 to 8 months after her last injection. After discontinuing Depo Provera, women may also have a 6 to 12 month delay in return of fertility."
You might try cleansing techniques to detox or eliminate the synthetic hormone from where it is stored in your body's tissues: drink lots of water every day, eat lots of fresh raw organic vegetables, drink raw vegetable juice, sweat in a steam room or sauna, get lots of exercise and fresh air. You can also ask at a health food store about herbal formulas or teas that help detoxify your body or that balance female hormones, or talk with a naturopathic physician or herbalist. |

Well just so you all know that the longer your on the depo shot it slowly takes the calcium out of your bones.. something I never knew undtill my older siter (age 30) was on it for 8 years and she started getting joing problems in all her joints the doctor just now told her hat it takes the calcium out of your bones told her she should stop using it and start taking calcium suplements...  |

I was on Depo for 3 years, and I didn't have any problems, although my cousin had problems going on it... She bled for about a month straight, and was in a lot of pain. I didn't have any of that, and I am grateful. July 07 would have been my 3 year anniversary on the shot, and I got off, after hearing that long term use can affect bone density, and I was ready to start planning a family.
In January, February, and March, I had regular periods, but then in April, I was throwing up, nauseous, and my period was totally whack. The whole thing was only 4 days, but it would gush, then stop, then spot, then stop, then gush... I never knew what was going to happen next. May came a week early, and it was just 3 days of spotting, and now 2.5 weeks later, it's the same thing. I have always been regular before, so this is really frustrating! |
