Question 1

can the depo-provera shot cause an elevated a1c level of 5.7?

Accepted Answer

See below: Depoprovera no.
Depo Medrol (methylprednisolone)  yes because it is a steroid and steroids can increase blood sugar levels.

Question 2

i had sex about a week agohe pulled out&its been almost 3months after i stopped the depo-provera shot.i took the shot once.can i be pregnant?high possibility?

Accepted Answer

Pull out method: "pulling out" is not a reliable birth control method, as there are sperm in a man's pre-ejaculation discharge.  The Depo-Provera shot is made to last for about 3 months, so it's not very likely you would be pregnant now. However, if you don't want to become pregnant, you'll need either another Depo-Provera shot or another form of birth control before you next have sex.

Question 3

can i take the pill with depo-provera to boost my estrogen levels ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I'm assuming that you are referring to depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) (dp), the contraceptive.  I have had patients take an oral contraceptive on top of the dp to stop breakthrough bleeding caused by the dp.  I wasn't sure what you meant by 'boosting' your estrogen levels.

Question 4

why does it take so long to become fertil after coming off of depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone)? what can help with bringing your fertility level back to normal?

Accepted Answer

Drop provera (medroxyprogesterone): Unfortunately, you just have to wait it out. After stopping depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) it takes an average of 4 to 10 months to get pregnant. It can take up to two years for your chances of getting pregnant to equal that of a woman who has not taken the depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot.

Question 5

if i have a high thyroid will depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) affect me weight wise?

Accepted Answer

Depoprovera: Depoprovera is a injectable contraceptive medication that last 3 months in your body. It functions by thickening the cervical mucous and changing the endometrium in addition to  suppresing ovulation.Side effect like abnormal bleeding ; wegiht gain are very common. Having hypothyroidsm can alter your weight, especially if uncontrolled. See your obgyn for alternatives or follow up.

Question 6

how long would 1 shot of depo-provera testosterone at 500 mg be in my system and how long until natural levels balanced out.? just 1 shot age 17

Accepted Answer

T shot: That depends on your height, weight and endocrine function. In general, we recommend 200-300mg every 2-3 weeks. So, I would expect that 500mg may last in your system for 4-6 weeks but it may suppress your body's production of testosterone and sperm for 3-12 months.

Question 7

to reduce my level of bleeding from depo-provera provera, (medroxyprogesterone) would skyla or nexplanon be a better option?

Accepted Answer

Mirena (levonorgestrel): If your goal is to decrease bleeding or eliminate it the Mirena (levonorgestrel) has the best bleeding profile -- better than the ones you mentioned.

Question 8

could starting depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) have any negative effect on high-risk hpv?

Accepted Answer

No: Should not affect hpv.

Question 9

my cervix is high and hard but i'm spotting. i'm on depo-provera but could this be a sign i'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Pregnancy is always a possibility. Purchase and perform a home pregnancy test.  These usuallly turn positive when you're about a week late.  If it's negative, repeat in a week and call your doctor.

Question 10

i'm 22 and i don't have any high pressure or heart problems.the only  medication i'm taking is the depo-provera shot. i want to try  the raspberry ketone .?

Accepted Answer

Why?: Should be fine. Most likely not going  to do anything but  go ahead. Remember even " natural " remedies have side effects  so stop it if any problems.
