No: Clindamycin shouldn't cause a reduction of the effectiveness of depo.

Question 3

hi i currently got my wisdom teeth taken out and i have been on clindamycin, hydrocodone, and ibuprofen do these medications make depo-provera less effective?

Accepted Answer

No,: The antibiotics and opioids do not affect the effectiveness of any form of hormonal birth control. This includes Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone). For more information ask your surgeon.

Question 4

i'm a day late for my depo-provera shot n im bleeding. is it too late to take the shot?

Accepted Answer

No: Get your next Depo-Provera shot as soon as possible to continue protection.

Question 5

how can you get pregnant after you had depo-provera shot. i tonly it took it three times in 08 n i got off it.every since then i tried to get pregnant.

Accepted Answer

Usually, : Usually, most women begin ovulation again in 12-14 weeks after their last Depo-Provera shot. If you have been off it longer and cannot become pregnant, then you may need a medical evaluation.  Sometimes hormonal issues, including thyroid, can affect periods.  Also weight, too high or too low, can affect ovulation.  If you continue to not be able to get pregnant please be seen for an evaluation.

Question 6

ive been on depo-provera for almost two years now and have never been late or missed a shot.i do not use protection.i have been noticing flutters n kicks.

Accepted Answer

3/1000 chance: If 1000 women use Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for a year, 3 of them will probably get pregnant.   Its possible you are pregnant.   If you are experiencing flutters and kicks, you need to see your Ob/Gyn and have a blood pregnancy test.   I wouldn't rely on a home pregnancy test in this instance.  Its also possible you are not pregnant and are having some confusing abdominal sensations but best to get checked!

Question 7

i started depo-provera n june'13, got the last shot sept'13 i have been spotting since june'13, its mar'14 its very light now but what can i take to stop it?

Accepted Answer

Estrogen: Progesterone has the effect sometimes of causing what we refer to as, an unstable uterine lining.  A birth control pill, which has both estrogen and progesterone, will likely stabilize your bleeding.  Unless you're trying to conceive or have a reason you can't take estrogen, this would be the best, most effective option for you. Hope that helps!

Question 8

i been on depo-provera shot for over a yr n i start period last wk 1st time since abt a month after i started shot. am i normal? i thought it gonna stop them?

Accepted Answer

Unpredictable: The bleeding patterns with depoprovera are unpredictable. For some in takes the period away. For others it causes irregular bleeding. There is no "normal" for Depo-Provera users. The longer you are on it the higher the chance of no periods. Annoying but not dangerous.

Question 9

is it to late for my depo shot if i should've taken it on july 28?

Accepted Answer

No: Although you  are a few days late, there is no reason to wait longer.  Should be no reason not to get your shot.

Question 10

is there a recall on the depo shot?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturer: You will want to call your Doctor's office Monday morning to ask what manufacturer produces the depot injection used by the office, then you'll need to go to the manufacturer's website or call the manufacturer's hotline to determine for sure.
