Hello, I was hoping I could get some help. I was on the Depo shot (birth control) for about maybe a year to a year and a half. I got off of it because I gained a lot of weight 🙁
I have been off the shot and have not tried any other method of birth control. It will be a year next month in October since I last took the shot. I have not had a period at all (maybe at the very beginning when I stopped taking Depo I got a little spotting but nothing else)
Is it possible for me to get pregnant even though I have not had my periods?
I can only tell you what I know, i.e. that a woman can conceive whether she is currently having periods or not - they might have been about to start and you would have ovulated, so a pregnancy could occur. Don't take chances, unless of course you want to have a child.
Hi there Vivianna - Welcome to healthypages :wave:
You may find it helpful to talk to someone who specialises in womens issues like [url]Marilyn Glenville[/url]. They have the experience and answers to problems like yours.
Your GP will probably say it takes time for the body to readjust itself after having artificial hormones - and i would agree, but it should be readjusted by now. Are there emotional issues that need resolving? What sort of foods are you eating? These can both have a considerable impact on how your body rebalances itself - or not - as the case may be.
Hope you get sorted soon.
