Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: how long do you suppose it takes one to start menstrating again after 3 plus years of depo (12/10/2009 4:52:26 PM)

Well by off it yes I chose to miss my shot, and I'm not continueing Depo as a choice of birthcontrol. I do n't know how the other question works though, I been on it so long I don't remember how it was explained any more.
I am also starting to see tinges of red when I wipe after peeing I believe all though that could be something else too, and I have to go to the gyno again to find out.
My gyno was all for what ever I wanted, and my general practitioner was thrilled, she said maybe I'd start loosing weight now, since she blames my birth control for me not loosing weight, since a lot of people did experience weight gain on it, but I know my weight gain is from loving food to much and exercise not enough lol. And how do I know this people ask? Because until my partner started feeding me fast food everytime I asked him to go out, I was maintaining weight and even loosing weight, once I started getting
The biggest concern for me was flip flopping sexually we often go 6 or 7 months or more with out sex, and then suddenly want one day of sex, then go another long long extendedly long period then suddenly he decides it's not fair, because he knows I'd like to have a go and he's been putting me off, but and we attempt to. I say attempt to cause it's not always enjoyable to try. so I was concerned about that you know because I don't want any supprise babies, but I was getting a basically un needed shot every 3 months, however I did enjoy not getting my periods so the shot was not completely fruitless.

First of all, it hasn't even been a month since you went off of it. By "off of it" I'm going to assume that you mean you were due for another shot at that time and didn't get it. Logically, Depo Provera must provide for a "margin of error" so to speak. In other words, if you are due for you shot on the 24th and don't get it until the 30th, you still have some protection.
On a side note, it has always fascinated me how that would work. The shot lasts for 3 months, does that mean 90 days? On day 91, do you automatically have no protection or what? Obviously that can't be the case.
So you are asking a question after just 2 weeks? Each person is different as you have seen from the other posts. Did you discuss going off birth control with your gynocologist? I know that you have had other health issues, and I don't know if you are taking any medications, but your doctors should know about your decision in case it would indicate a change in meds.
Then there is the concept of whether or not you were "regular" before you started the shots. Has there been significant weight gain or loss during the period you were on the shot? These are all questions you should ask your doctor.
