Question 1

i have been off the depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot for 11 months and ttc. my period did return but not normal. what can i do to return my fertility?

Accepted Answer

See a fertility doc: Not an infrequent issue with patients who have used depo-provera for contraception. However, it would be appropriate to assess if there are any other fertility related issues and rule out any other reasons for the irregular cycles. In the absence of other issues, the use of fertility medications to restore follicle growth and ovulation may be indicated.

Question 2

can folic acid increase your fertility after depo-provera shot?

Accepted Answer

Not really: It is important to supplement Folic Acid when you are trying to conceive as this can reduce the risk of a pregnancy complication called neural tube defect. Folic acid itself, however, does not increase your fertility. Good luck!

Question 3

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 4

whats  the  best fertility   pills  whos trying  to convince an has been off depo-provera  prova   for almost  3yrs ?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: There are no such products. If one has a fertility problem the specific problem needs to be addressed. Please consider a fertility clinic.

Question 5

can you have fertility issues if you ever used the depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot ?

Accepted Answer

DMPA: (depot shot) does not cause fertility issues, except that it may take up to a year (sometimes more) for normal ovulation to resume.

Question 6

on june 30th, 2012 i had my first and only depo-provera shot. on december 26th i had brown spotting for a week. is this fertility returning?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Depo-provera normally stays in the system no more than 2 to 3 months. One can have suppressed ovulation though for up to 6 to 9 months after the depo-provera injection before regular ovulation resumes.

Question 7

does depo-provera permanently reduce fertility? i would like kids in the next 5 years but not now (college). should i just get on the pill?

Accepted Answer

Depo effects: can last between 3 to 12 months after stopping the injections. As long as you don't have a SPECIFIC date that you want to get pregnant, Depo is a safe and effective method of birth control. You just have to wait for the hormone to clear before normal fertility returns.

Question 8

how long could it take for me to get my period after getting off depo-provera shot? and can i get fertility drugs to help me get pregnant faster?

Accepted Answer

Up to 9 months: You possibly might not see a period for 9 months from your last shot, although it is usually quicker.  This assumes your periods were regular before you started the Depo.  Fertility drugs are not appropriate in this situation and would be of marginal benefit even if you could find someone who would prescribe them

Question 9

how long shud it take my peroids to return after having one depo-provera shot and not having it again was due my last one on 17 of feb?

Accepted Answer

Varies: After stopping the Depo-Provera the average time it takes is 2 -3 weeks, but it can vary up to eighteen months.

Question 10

how do me an my boyfriend conceive faster we've been trying for 8months been off depo-provera since oct2013 an returned to cycle but he smokes weed  ?

Accepted Answer

You sound worried: Your question makes me think that you are worried, not just about the difficulty with getting pregnant but about your boyfriend's habit of smoking weed.
Perhaps you ought to consider first whether you are really ready to have a baby at this point. If you have serious concerns about the potential partner then maybe putting things off for a while makes sense.
