    Default how many days after depo is due can i go before i start to bleed?

    so-- I'm not able to get my appt. for my depo shot until six days after it was due. a fuck up, i know-- but i've been travelling and screwed up my date. I'm not having sex, so i'm not worried about that, but I want to work this week but i can't get my shot until friday.

    i know all women are different, but does anyone have any experiences with this? I only was 3 days late once, and no bleeding, but six?

    When I was taking it I was a week n a half late once n 2 weeks late another time and my doctor said dont worry about it. You wont bleed if you've been on it for awhile... after I stopped taking depo it took over 2 years to start bleeding again.

    It took me around 6 months as I decided to give my body a break in re birth control during a particular "dry" period in re sex. I wasn't having sex with anyone in that time as I was travelling alot so I decided to let my depo lapse to give my body a break since I have been on it for over 2 years at that point.

    After I got that period, I went straight back on it! As it reminded me why I loved being on it for so long! I love not having my period. It's the only side effect I have experienced. No weight gain and nothing else that wasn't already "there" before the depo.

    That happened to me also- it took almost 4 years for my period to come back. My gyn md looked like she wanted to slap me when I told her how long I went without having a period.

    Errr.... 6 days? You can take it again within two weeks of the due date no problem!!

    It took me four months the first time. and then now it usually only takes a week.

    no-- by my due date i meant that it was the last day of the two week period, not the first....so i just wanted to make sure that being late wouldn't be an issue -crossing my fingers- hope not.

    When I stopped taking depo, it took me almost a year to have a normal period and six months before I got any semblance of one at all.

    When I came off depo it took about 6 months for my period to come back proper, though I did get some spotting - sometimes for weeks at a time! I used to get spotting constantly even when I was still on it (which is why I stopped using it) but if you haven't had any spotting I doubt it would be a problem for you.

    I'd say the two week period is more for the birth control side rather than the period side of things. Though definitely let your doctor know when you go in for your shot in case there are other considerations.
