it can take that long to completely leave your system for people thats been on it for a long time like years. if u only had two shots it should take like 6 months

Hi I'm 19 I just had twins recently, i simply adore them(:, about 4 weeks ago I had my first depo while i had my after birth bleeding and haven't stopped bleeding since. About 3 days ago my bf and I had unprotected sex nd I was just wondering if u knew how effective the depo was. I am dreading the fact that I might be pregnant again...

It's 99% effective, I've had unprotected sex on it for 6 years and no pregnancies. It works a soon as you have the shot. I doubt you are pregnant, but take a test to be sure.

I have been on the depo since march now and I hate it. I'm seriously athletic and look after my body yet it made me gain a stone, I also bleed whenever I engage in foreplay or sex, not even a little, heaviest period ever. Me and my boyfriend never want to do it now as he thinks he's hurting me and I'm just embarrassed :/

I've been on Depo for about a year now. I was spotting for about 4 months when I first got it than it stop. How ever every time my bf and I have sex I get the spotting for few days. Recently I went on a road trip for about 2 months so my bf and I didn't have sex and the spotting stopped. Than I came back and we had sex right away I spot the next day and it stoped and we waited about a month and had sex I start to spot again for 2 days. Did this happens to u ur first year?

A week ago I just got my second shot of depo about a week ago. Two days after I got it I stopped bleeding and after another couple of days I had sex and now I'm bleeding again. Will the bleeding after having intercourse go away? If so do you know when?

Hi, I know this was posted over a year ago but I was wondering if anything got better after the depo. I am having the same symptoms in the abdominal as you.

Hi, so my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex about two weeks ago maybe less, and I spotted afterwards but didnt think it was anything serious because I had had that before with him and i am on the Depo shot.(been on it for about 6 months now). But my concern was that I spotted pretty heavy this time(it was rather dark and thick) and i am feeling tired and really out of it for about four -five days now. I get sick to my stomach when i consume food or beverages any kind. I know the signs of pregnancy because I have been pregnant before( I have a daughter that is 10 months). If any one has any answers for this i would really appreciate it.

Being on the depo if you are on the antibiotics you are able to get pregnant. Your doctor should have told you that. I know a few people that got pregnant on depo because they didnt know that antibiotics cancel out the birth control. Spotting is normal but I would talk to a doctor about the pain.

I was on Depo after my first child and it totally ceased my period. After I stopped taking it I didn't have a period for about 6 months. Now after so many years I decided to start taking it again in May 2014. M period was on when I got the shot and it stopped like 2 days later and I didn't bleed for weeks. Now at the end of June I started spotting. The smell was awful. I was douching and bathing like mad but nothing worked. July starts and it's still going, on some days off the next nevertheless still spotting. Here comes the end of July they put on a bc 4 pill for two days, 3 pills until the bleeding stopped. Didn't work still bled. Finally went in for my second shot and July 30 and I've been spotting/bleeding ever since. He put me on Jenel and it stopped for 3 days, then right back. I'll die in hell before I go back for another shot because now I'm cramping, when I wipe its always blood, and at times clots in the toilet. I am disgusted and tired of buying pads. Worse mistake I EVER made.. A nightmare.
