I was on the depo shot only 3 months September to November. never went back to get the second shot had. my period thru the 3 months up to December them in January no period. so took two pregnancy tests that were negative and made an appointment with Dr. took another test negative so they scheduled and ultrasound and everything came back normal so I’m waiting for my period for February nothing. so today went to Dr still can’t tell me why I haven’t started they took another test today negative so he prescribed me some pills so I can start my period. should I start take it them or should I get blood work done cause I have pregnancy symptoms like my boobs are sore but at the same time each month I just keep getting menstrual cramps just nothing happens
As long as the ultrasound was at least 6 weeks post last period you are not pregnant. Assuming you’ve been using protection during this time. Before 6 weeks can show no sack/pregnancy. Blood work is super accurate so for peace of mind I’d probably do that then start pills.
It’s extremely normal to not get your period and have pms or pregnancy symptoms. I was on the depo for 3 years with no period & symptoms for the first 6 months. The depo has a very odd effect on the body.
take a blood test first then go from there blood work will tell more
the sore boobs can be from your body still trying to balance out your hormones while clearing the depo out of your system… if you’ve had that many tests and an ultrasound I feel like your safe to start the pill from your dr
I didn’t get my period for a year after stopping the depo shot it messes with your body 
It takes time for those shot hormones to come out and get regulated
Let your body fix itself. Depo really screws shit up
It took me two years to get my period back.
I have heard it can take up to a year to get back to your regular cycle after the Depo
It takes time to get your period back after depo. Your hormones are just trying to rebalance
You are not pregnant. Depo shot can take at least a year for period to be normal again . Get blood work done , but if they did an ultra sound then that’s pretty accurate
I had my first shot in September. No period in November. Was supposed to go back in December for my second shot, but I didn’t. I started bleeding and bled for 47 days straight. Still no period since I stopped bleeding in January. Apparently it’s normal with the shot.
If in doubt get the blood work done. What s another day or so. Better safe than sorry.
I only had one shot and didn’t get my period for like 5 months after. Never got on another birth control (my stupidity lol) and I got pregnant 9 months after the shot was to “wear off”
Its normal to go without with the shot. Seems like youve had lots of tests to see youre not pregnant. Take the progesterone. Its easier to get pregnsnt taking it tho
I was on the depo for 13 months it took 9 months for my period to start back up again, the reason it took so long was the wall lining in my uterus was really thin and it had to build back up… during the first 3 months of being off it, I had symptoms of a pregnancy but it turns out it was because my hormones were trying to regulate themself which takes time to get back on track, I have been off the depo for 17 months and I have very regular periods now since may of last year… it takes time for you body to adjust to normal…
I didnt havd a period with depo all the time is was kike once every 6 months or so
You enjoy the time with no period!
I haaaate the depo shot! I had my period on and off for a whole year!!!
It took me a long time to get back to “normal” after I came off depo. I didn’t get a normal period for about a year, and even then I would go months at a time without one. I didn’t get pregnant until I was completely off the shot for almost 3 years. Depo still provides birth control for 6 months to a year after your last injection.
The depo really fucks up your system. Not having your period normally can have everything to do with the depo.
My system was so fucked up for 10 years because of it. And it’s still not fully back to normal.
I wouldn’t have my period for months and then I would have it twice in 1 month. It was chaotic.
Don’t ever get the depo again.
