A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
