    Question ? for anyone who's been on Depo

    I've been on and off it a few times and never had any problems with my period coming back or any weird side effects. This last time around I was on it for 6 months, went off it last Dec and haven't gotten a period since. Now I know this can happen sometimes but what really has me confused is that my boobs have actually gone up a cup size in the past two months. Yes I've taken gods only knows how many pregnancy test, all neg. so it's not that. I'm not complaining about the added boobage but this is just really weird.. I always thought going on BC would effect your boobs, not going off it..

    I guess what I want to know is, has anyone else had this happen to them? And how long before things go back to normal.. (hopefully the boobs stay lol)

    I had this same issue, took me a full year before my period came back. My boobs stayed the same (they are already normally kinda big).

    if its really bugging you ask your gyn about what you can do to speed the process up

    Took me about 6 months I think to get mine back. My boobs went down a size too, because the Depo made me put on weight.

    If your body is still adapting to the lack of Depo in it (boob size changing) then its fine to still not have your period yet. But yeah, see your Gyno if its worrying you.

    Bigger boobs and no period sounds like bliss though- make the most of it

    I don't remember how long it took, but I know there's a thread around here somewhere with me freaking out wondering this very same thing like two or three years ago ... *searching*

    ETA: 's the thread about me waiting for my period, but it kinda petered out without an end to the story, I really can't remember how long it took to get back to normal.

    the depo made me lose weight and had a boobage increase that never went away. After the depo I gained wait because id give into pms cravings and not work out because i was feeling shitty.

    so either way, its normal. but never be afraid to ask your doc

    My period went away the whole 2 years I was on depo. it also gave me osteopenia due to lack of calcium in my lower back (maybe other places cuz the lower back is the only place they would bone density check me) I dont know how long it would of taken for me to get my period back cuz I didnt do the monthly break on every birth control packet, plus its been awhile so cant remember really...

    I was on depo for three years and it turned me into a stark raving mad bitch. I didn't get my period for the full three years, and it took about 4-6 mos to come back. Never got extra boobs though, and stayed the same weight.

    Good lord I would almost sacrifice my sanity a second time to not have a period again. HAAAATE.

    I'm just getting off the depo, I have dimpling where they injected the shots.
    I hope that goes away.

    was on depo for 9 years, CRAZY mood swings, 0 sex drive, and gained 60 pounds. No periods tho for 8 years lol. Got on bc pills December and sometimes i have periods on the sugarpill week sometimes i don't. Oh and I've lost over half the depo weight already . I think it just takes time for your body to adjust to not being on depo and your periods will eventually be back to normal.

    I was on depo for about a year and had to stop because I gained a lot of weight. I never changed my diet or anything so it had to be the depo. The weight dropped off after about 6 months and I think it was about 9 months before I had my period again. Like ryleeNsd said ... your body just needs to adjust. It takes time, and is different for everyone, but it will get back to normal eventually.
