I'm going to be going off the Depo shot, what to expect?!


Question: I'm going to be going off the Depo shot, what to expect!?
I've been on the depo shot for a year, and going to be going off of it!. And, haven't had a real period for a year, so I was kind of wondering what to expect after I don't get the depo shot anymore!? Anyone have any bad experience or advice!? If maybe I should switch to some other form of birth control, like the pills!? I didn't really like the pills they always made me feel nauseated!. Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well once you get off it, your hormones are going to go crazy because they are used to you being on the birth control!. So expect to have your period every other day on and off for at least a month!. It's normal because that's how your body will change once you've stopped getting it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What I did was get on Kariva (pill) around the time I was due for my last (never gotten) depo provera shot!. I got my periods back in three months!.

Without the pill, it can take up to or over a year to get your periods back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try the patch!.
I didn't have any bad reactions to that & I don't do well on the pill either!.

I was on depo for 3 years & it shut my system down, no periods & I literally dried up!.
When I got off it I went thru a sort of puberty again, I know it sounds weird but it was far from funny!.
I started having my periods again after I was off depo for 6 months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
