you could get pregnant pretty fast but it can take as long as a year.

ANY time you have unprotected sex there's the chance of becoming pregnant.  If the incident happened less than 72 hours ago you can go to a doctor for the morning-after pill.  Otherwise you're stuck with waiting until you expect your next period to show up.

There are some side effects of getting off of the depo shot, but I am not sure what all they are.  If I were you, I would do some internet research, and get a pregnancy test.

I took depo for two years with nothing but problems. When I first got on it not only did my sex drive disappear but I started to have my period. I was told not to worry while my hormones balanced themselves. Well I continued to bleed for THREE MONTHS!! I started to worry I would become anemic. They said no worry, I should stabilize with the next shot. Well I never did. I bled randomly for two years straight!! I finally quit because no matter how many times they said not to worry, I still worried. It took a whole year before I had my period again and now I am at two years since my last shot and my period still isn't regular! My experience has taught me that any hormone therapy is unpredictable. I use a condom every time. If he wants more sensation he can marry me. I am not threatening my ability to have kids in the future ever again. I STRONGLY discourage you to use this shot. My experience has been horrible and ongoing.

The depo shot will stop your periods entirly, but you have to get it every 3months. My doc told me that it is a guarenteed 10 lbs and that we have periods for a reason, it's not normal to stop them. Also when you quit the depo shot you have a period for 2-3 weeks. My suggestion is take normal birth control, it minimizes the cramps, flow, and duration of the period. Also if I have a trip or something I just keep taking my birth control to avoid my period ofr that time.

24 hours but remember depo only protects against pregnancy. there is a wide variety of STD's out there that would be far worse than having a baby so cover up your stuff!

There is no injection every 6 months.  There is a birth control injection for every 3 months which is called Depo-Provera.  I absolutely loved it - but it's not for everyone.  You get an injection once every 12 weeks AND BONUS you stop your menstrual cycles usually within a year's time (you save on buying pads, tampons, no pms).  I was on it for 8 years - I had to go off though because it is linked with decreasing bone density and osteoporosis runs in my family.  Some people gain weight (my sister did) and some people who are prone to migraines or depression are also advised to steer clear of Depo-Provera.  Talk to your doctor about your options.  I found that Depo was also relatively cheap (about $40 an injection which is for 3 months) compared to other forms (Patch $20/month, birth control pills ($17.50/month).\n\nGood luck.

I use Depo-Provera.  Ive been on it for almost 5 years.  Havent gained weight, no mood swings, no periods, just lots of sex.  It makes my hair shed a little but my nails grow beautifully now also.  It's every 13 weeks.  No pills to remember (or forget).  Wouldnt go any other way.

your body will produce irregular spotting for a while. You should take a pregnancy test just to be safe and if it comes up negative then yes, it is b/c your body is just reacting to coming off of the birth control and your periods will be irregular for a few months. Also FYI, I am 23 and I have used Depo Prevara and my doctor strongly urged me not to take it anymore b/c it has been proven to be very bad for your bones. My doc says don't take it for more than 2 yrs. otherwise it could cause major damage. Just ask your doc about it.

after stopping depo it usually takes 3 to 10 months to get your periods regularsied.and now about patch it is needed to use patch ones a week for three continous week and absetain in the fourth week to get period.so you are   not likely to get  your period yet.if you  continue to use patch in a four week cycle then you may get your period after end of fourth week. then you have continue to use patch cycles for at least 3 to 10 months.

That's would be Depo-Provera. It's a shot to stop your monthly friend for 3 months. There is some spotting involved. However, after I was on it for 9 months it helped to stop the horrible cramps I was getting. Now that I am no longer on it, I have relief from all the cramps I would get.

yes the Depo-Provera shot PLEASE never get this use a condom every time you have sex just don't get this shot. I had all kinds of side effects like weight gain,depression,loss of sex drive,vaginal dryness,achy muscles and joints, and a terrible respiratory infection. It's really bad because even after being off of this the side effects stay. I'm still recovering and I've been off for 2 years.

They all have different side effects....I tried the IUD.....it was effective....but I could feel it when I was having sex.......The depo shot is also very effective and lasts a while after your last shot, its only every 3 months you get the shot (4 times a year)... her period wouldn't come as often or at all (more time to play :-} )but in a lo of people I know who have had it including myself, it either makes you put on or lose a lot of weight.

The depo shot can really throw off your menstral system, I really don't recommend depo to ANYONE. It can have longterm harmfull side effects. I know myself from experience with the depo shot, it does different things to different people, but except to be off wack for a while, sometimes it can take 6 months to a year for your body to get back to normal from it.

I work in family planning and have seen horror show after horror show with Depo.  For some folks, their period goes back to normal right away.  For others, particularly if she's been on the shot for a while, it can take...ready for this?...up to a year.  Getting on a dual hormone method (progetin/estrogen...aka the pill, ring, etc.) may help to get your hormones back on track.  Your doctor might even be able to prescribe a little bit of estrogen.  But really, the best advice is *unfortunately* to wait. :-(

Once you stop taking them you should use another effective form of birth control if you do not want to get pregnant. My doctor told me that if I wanted to get pregnant, wait 3 months before trying, until all of the contraceptive from the pills is out of your system. But you should really ask a gynecologist about the specific kind of pill you have been taking.
