it is also worth mentioning that i was on the Depo shot for 4 consecutive years. age 14~18. Has…

ive heard some people say that after stopping the shot after so many years it was hard for them to concieve.

hae you had your period at all?

i stopped the shot may of 2014, and i started having regular normal periods September of 2014

I had my last depo shot in March and have been trying to concieve since it ended. No luck so far :(

Wait what shot is this ? Please explain because I'm looking into contraceptives and I heard of some shot , I hope this won't affect me if I decide to do it . Is this the shot u receive once every 3 months ?

yes its that one @mrsmord. its called depo vera i believe

I was on depo for 3 years and it took is a year and a half before I could get pregnant.

i meant have... I was on the shot and I stopped about 6-7 months ago and still haven't had my period I have been having back pains my breasts have hurt for like 2 weeks now so I'm not sure if it is from the shot or if I'm pregnant because my fiancè and I have been trying to get pregnant but no luck so I will have to see when I make a doctors appointment

@mrsmord, it is a birthcontrol shot called the depo shot it works good and you do get it every 3 months

I was on depo for 7 years... and actually conceived on it. I'd gotten my shot about a month before I conceived. I was on antibiotics for a kidney infection for a couple of weeks which most likely reduced the shot's efficacy and how I was able to get pregnant.

@leelee077, so I heard its one of the most affective BC but I'm afraid - will it affect me negatively once I stop and want to conceive again?

@mrsmord, it is a good form of BC but it does have its risks. i would advise to ask your doctor about any concerns. especially potential infertility

@savg1995, yeah she told me about it yesterday , I wouldn't of known what it was otherwise - she said its most affective . I guess I'll ask once I go again .

I agree with @savg1995 consult with your doctor because everyone is different

@savg1995, so, I was on the depo shot for 5 years, literally didn't go back for my shot that was due in March and I got pregnant at the end of May..
