Question 1

if i got spider veins while on depo-provera shots. will they fade after i stop depo?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Many times the spider veins that are caused by hormones will improve when the increased hormone levels go back to normal.  The bad news is that it is common for only partial improvement to occur.  The good news is that these veins can still be treated with sclerotherapy is they don't go away completely.

Question 2

4days ago i noticed bright blue veins on my breasts but i do have large breasts and on depo-provera shot but why are they suddenly popping up

Accepted Answer

Change in pressure : There is probably increased venous pressure. See your doctor to make sure there is nothing else causing this problem.

Question 3

i have been off of the depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) for going on 10 months.ihave very visible blue veins showing in my arms breast and my legs.i have had sevre nasuea?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant??: You could be pregnant. You should take a test and follow up with a doctor as your symptoms may be from pregnancy.

Question 4

if i didnnt have periods for to yrs due to depo-provera how can they date my pregnancy off lmp. edd based on 1st u/s at 14w was it based off lmp or conception?

Accepted Answer

U/s dates from size: Pregnancy due dates can come from actual dates of last menstrual period LMP which estimates a conception date of 2 weeks later.  Due dates from ultrasounds come from the measurements taken during the ultrasound.  Sometimes it is used to estimate when conception took place but at 14wks is possibly up to a week off +/-.  Hope that helps and congratulations.

Question 5

i was having a hard time getting. pregnant, its been a year since my depo provera wore off. i went in for blood work and everything came back normal. what could be reason why i havent been successful in getting pregnant? bad timing for ovulation?

Accepted Answer

: The decision to start a family is exciting. Taking prenatal vitamins daily, exercising and tracking your periods and fertility signs may help. Preconception counseling with your local provider could also.  May you get happy news soon!

Question 6

been off depo-provera shot for 7 weeks ..was wondeeing how quickly i can concieve again..and if i can concieve without starting my period s.

Accepted Answer

Might be too early: If you mean 7 weeks after you were due, it still may be too early. It can take 6 to 8 months for Depo to get completely out of your system. The problem is, though, you will ovulate before you have your first period, so yes, you can get pregnant without having a period. You just may not know when it happens.

Question 7

i ve been having a dark red brown discharge for a few weeks now and i recently started to bleed heavily and now i m in excruciating pain i am on the depo-provera shot and got injected last week but i don t know what s wrong help?

Accepted Answer

Please call the gyn: Who gave you the Depo-Provera shot, now or go to the er, you need an exam , cultures, blood work and an ultrasound, i assume you got the Depo-Provera shot while you were on your period, that is when the first shot is supposed to be given or if u didn't i assume a blood preg test was checked first.

Question 8

suppress my appetite while on depo-provera fast?

Accepted Answer

Pick another method: Long term Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) treatment definitely causes weight gain. There is no easy way to suppress your appetite. I would try another method of birth control.

Question 9

i get depo provera every 10 weeks is this effective?

Accepted Answer

: Yes Depo-Provera shots are effective every 10 weeks. They remain usually effective even when taken every 12-13 weeks.

Question 10

what age do you have to be to get the depo-provera shot?

Accepted Answer

Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone): The FDA has advised that it not be used in teens especially under age 16.  However, I have used in many teens.  Unfortunately too many teens are having unprotected sex and unfortunately many of them are good pill takers.
