Question 1

would a blood pregnancy test be accurate if you waited three week after sex and you are on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) bc you no longer get a period nevr miss a shot?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Three weeks after sex is long enough for a pregnancy test to show whether or not a woman got pregnant 3 weeks ago.

Question 2

can my last depo shot which was 4m ago be causing me to now miss my period in my first 7day break on the pill? or pregnancy? missed last week of pack

Accepted Answer

Yes: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) stays in your system for longer than just three months, but if you are on a pill, you may not see the period during the placebo pills for a few months, but it should return within a few months.

Question 3

can i get pregnant if i miss depo shot and not having my period??

Accepted Answer

Most certainly: O course you can get pregnant as once the depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) medication is out of your blood stream then ovulation can occur PRIOR to any succeeding period flow.

Question 4

feelin vrry pregnant neg test missed period 18 days now had depo-provera shot but miss 2 wks sexin strsight thru unprotected plenty lower cramps m i prego????

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you have been on Depo-Provera for awhile or started it on the 2nd or 3rd day of your last period, pregnancy is unlikely. Depo does cause irregular bleeding and then the absence of periods and this is likely to be the cause of the late period. It does not help with prevention of STDs though and the cramping could be a symptom of one of those. You need to use condoms to help decrease that risk, Be safe

Question 5

i'm i pregnant? hi, i jus started the depo-provera december 7, but been on the pills for quit some while but was taking it to time. my partner and i have unprotected sex all the time. i have miss my period for the month of feb. i had visited the on the 17

Accepted Answer

Many : Many women who take Depo-Provera stop menstruating. This is actually one of the most common side effects. Many women dislike this because they worry that they may be pregnant. Over time they realize this is just a side effect of the Depo-Provera and they become less and less concerned. In the beginning you will need a lot of reassurance, which possibly means a serum (blood) pregnancy test. If over time you don't like not having a period you may want to consider another birth control option.
All the best.

Question 6

hi im sydney. how long should i wait to take a pregnancy test and i'm on the depo shot. see, i don't get my period anymore.  i have noticed that my areola is like kinda dark and i have been feeling  very nauseous and kinda like dizzy or whatever.  i am ha

Accepted Answer

Anytime you like: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Question 7

coming off of depo-provera trying to get pregnant. shot was due 12-18-12 i didn't get it. had period 12-25-12 having pregnancy symptoms, is it possible?

Accepted Answer

Always possible: It is always possible that you could be pregnant if you were not current on on birht control.  If you had a normal period, then you can certainly conceive after that.  Take prenatal vitamins in any event.

Question 8

i was on the depo-provera shot for three months and didn't get another shot  had a three day period then stopped and haven't bled since. a few times i thought i was going to start and never did. i took four pregnancy test and all negative. could i still b

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You always have to rule out pregnancy.  Get a home pregnancy test.  They should turn positive about the time you're a week late.  If it's negative, repeat it and call your doctor.

Question 9

i've been on the depo-provera shot for over a year and never get a period. i have pregnancy symptoms but no period to base it on. how do i know?

Accepted Answer

Check pregnancy test: Depoprovera failures are very rare. It is a very effective method. If you are concerned then take a simple test available at any pharmacy. No reason to stress out. Check a test and you will have your answer in minutes. It is normal to not have a period while on depo.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Check pregnancy test: Depoprovera failures are very rare. It is a very effective method. If you are concerned then take a simple test available at any pharmacy. No reason to stress out. Check a test and you will have your answer in minutes. It is normal to not have a period while on depo.
