First time Depo-what will period be like
| Thu, 08-12-2004 - 6:49pm |
I just got the Depo shot 3 weeks ago, a little over a week after my last period. (July 12th)
So in theory, my period is supposed to be do anytime now - but what can I expect for my first period on Depo?
Thanks!

Anyway, wanted to bump this up and add that I'm just wondering if I should be concerned at all if my period doesn't show up - or if I should be expecting it like normal (even though I've been on the Depo shot for three weeks now)
Before I got on Depo they had to give me a PG test at the Dr's office first, and it came back positive! But they ran a blood test (for those that know - it was qualitive Yes or No) and it came back negative so they gave me the shot. I was still curious though, so I waited a week and tested on my own using EPT - and it was negative, so I should have NOTHING to worry about, right? I'm just curious if I should expect my period to come or if it's normal to be different when on Depo (even if I just started the shot) "Normal to be different" hehe

I wouldn't expect your period to come at its normal time after your first shot. It might not come at all, it might come in 3 months from now - it's hard to tell. My doctor explained to me that you're body isn't producing anything it needs to shed since the shot stops ovulation. But every now and then, it will need to 'clean itself out', which is why I will have a random, light period now and then.
Good Luck
