how soon after getting the Depo Provera shot - is it effective?

I was told a month. Make sure you are certain before you start depo. Side effects vary widely from person to person. I am infertile due to cancer treatments and quit having a period altogether once I started the shot. But, bw the shot and the cancer treatment I have menapausal symptoms (dont know if it is the shot or treatments or both). Some people bleed constantly and have horrible side effects from headaches to the menapausal sypmtoms.

It is hard to conceive after the shot. So if you want children, not a good idea - on that note neither is the iud. There is a reason the commercials advertise that you have to already have children and be in a stable relationship.

(even though I have been deemed infertile there is always that chance and docs prefer I stay on bc.. And depo is the most reliable and I dont have periods on it.. My thought is if I am infertile, might as well not have a period..)

I was told when I got mine about the same....I only got one shot...I hated it!! I bled for 3 months straight....I felt miserable like I had the flu or something..I switched to birth control pills when it was time for my 2nd shot and stayed on them for 4 1/2 years. Also if you want to eventually get pregnant it is harder to conceive after the shot..it usually take women up to 2 years to after the shot and about 6 months at the latest with BCP. (Can you tell Im against the shot : ) )

you'll properly be. My healthcare specialist instructed me to save utilizing condoms for 2 weeks after the first shot to be particular it has taken effect. Take a being pregnant attempt to be particular. by technique of now, you need to be secure adversarial to being pregnant, regardless of if remember it really is each and every of the shot is for, you'll seize different nasties. yet another element to save in concepts, they allow you to comprehend it may soak as a lot as a 365 days to regain your fertility once you provide up getting the photos, yet I neglected my very last dose by technique of a month and my healthcare specialist become in contact i'd were pregnant. stick consisting of your shot recurring and ask your healthcare specialist once you've any questions about it.

7 days.
