Reversing depo?
Hi I only had one shot of depo. I was not told i shouldnt take it if i wanted to conceive within the next year. well its been 3 months since my only shot and i want to have a baby. I heard it can take up to 9 months for fertility to return, I'm just wondering if there is anything that exsists to reverse the shot?
depo is awful. i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Unfortunatly, its a waiting game,but everybody is different. It takes some women a long time and others a short time. I'll be wishing you the best either way. i was contantly bleeding when i stopped.
well since i had the shot i have been bleeding for 3 months straight...kinda hard to even try for a baby lol
Unfortunately there isn't. I received shots for exactly 1 year and decided not to get them anymore. It took me 8 months to get periods again. I think if you only had it once you should be fine.
The thing is, I was seeing a doctor (resident) for my lack of periods and they told me I had PCOS and would have difficulty conceiving a baby in the future. I was devistated. The treatment was birth control pills, which (from what I understand) have helped some people get periods back after Depo. Well I got my period immediately after the first pack, went and saw the main doctor and was told that the resident was uninformed about the side effects of Depo, and they were foolish to tell me that I had PCOS. It ABSOLUTELY was an effect of Depo. I've been regular ever since!
Like I said, you should be fine. If it takes you a little longer than you were hoping to get back to normal don't freak out. If you decide to see a doctor, let them do their thing, but don't let them forget that it could be an effect of Depo, because that would be the most sensible answer (from my experience). It's a synthetic hormone that can take a while to get out of your system, and it shouldn't cause you any longterm problems. Good luck conceiving!

It can take 12-18 months for Depo Provera to be completely out of your system. But probably much less since you only had once shot.
