Periods after Depo-provera

[EvianBaby]

My last depo was due at xmas but I decided not to have anymore. Continued to have no period until around the start of June but since then it's been pretty much one week off/one week on. Has anyone got any idea how long they should take to regulate? And is it likely any medication I take could affect it? It's driving me bonkers.

It could take up to a year to get back into any kind of menstrual regularity, but as long as there is no post coital bleeding or post coital pain then it is no big deal.

I'd have to actually have sex to find that out wouldn't I! ;)

Euughh, might just start taking it again.

[EvianBaby]

Sorry - manners! Thanks for the answer!

[Sqad]

eeeeerm! ...yes.

I really am no expert on these things but could you not go on the mini-pill [if it still exists] to regulate them?
But then as long as you're not in a sexual relationship why not just give it a bit more time.

I've heard that an ibuprofen not only helps with pain but stops the bleeding!

[EvianBaby]

Nosha, it seems to be the complete opposite for me.

I'm happy to just wait Lisa, I'm not trying to have babies or anything. I just felt it was a good time to give my body a break while I'm not getting any. Just forgot how much of a pain periods are.

Aren't the just! But, having to had to have a hysterectomy earlier this year they are a thing of the past for me :0)
I belong to a forum called the Hyster sisters and there are women on there that mourn the premature loss of their periods! I'm like....really!!!! I love taking the pee out of my daughter when she's on, one of lifes little pleasures for me lol

please excuse the first sentence there....not got a clue what happened there!

[EvianBaby]

Lol, it's ok. I know what you meant.

It's nice you are able to have a sense of humour about it. Not sure how I'd feel if I were in that position. Suppose I should be grateful that everything seems to be working as it should be :)

Hey, it cured my cancer and I already have my kids. It could have been a very different story in all respects.... If I'd been younger than I am[43] and not had my kids I would have been in bits....but me? I'd rather get another Great Dane!
