If you've had the depo contraceptive injection - but only had one or two jabs - how long did it take for.........

[FAQinglovely]

your periods to come back???

I had 2 shots last year, but as I was spotting daily (was like having a permanent period - urghh) I didn't go back for my last one that was due in December.

I know it can take a while for them to come back - does the length of time you've been on it affect the length of time - or is that totally irrelevant??

oh and when they did come back (regardless of length of time it took) did you go straight back into "normal" ones - or were they a bit "hit and miss" to start with? Sort of like the spotting that many people (including me) got while having it?

It took my periods about 12 months to come back properly and thats after the 3 months effectiveness(sp)of the injection so 15 months from last injection!iyswim.

It will be 3/4 years ago now.

dont think the length of time matters!

hth

I went straight back to having normal ones, back to my odd 30ish day cycle!
