female only Help! Depo Shot And No Period.

[sam3841 57]

This is really embarrassing but I recently as of the beginning of Feb, switched birth control methods to the depo shot. My period is two weeks late and there is no chance I am preggers, unless its an act of God. My Dr did mention that in some in women they noticed a reduction to total lost of period in 9 months. But its only been a month, so I don't think its that. Has anyone had this happen?

Hi, I was the same way, I've been on the shot for 9 years and I love it! As soon as I got my 1st shot never had cramps or a period....best birth control ever!!!! LOL

I was given a Depot Shot before Uterine Ablation Surgery. I was told that it would stop my period, so that I could have the surgery.

I was on the Depo shot many years ago and I never had a period while in it.

Thanks! I would to not get a period, but I wasn't expecting it to work so quickly. Did you guys still get monthly bloating or dis that go away to?

Sorry I meant I would love to not have to deal with getting a period again.

No bloating, craps, discharge, not cranky, it really is great and so glad that I don't have the headache that comes along with periods anymore
