Good Morning,

Hope everyone is well? How long did it take for your periods to come back after the depo injection? My last injection was Dec 19 and they still haven’t returned despite my body feeling like it was gonna happen x

I started putting weight on after my last injection in December and thought I would start losing it but I haven’t. It’s kind of maintained but not sure if that’s because my body is constantly feeling like it wants a period? Have you lost weight? x

Mine started the week it ran out (can't give dates as it was at the beginning of the year and I can't remember hehe). I had some breakthrough bleeding which turned into a proper period as it was about 3 weeks before I started the combined pill.

My last depo injection that I had was in November 2016. Then I had the implant inserted in January 2017. Then I did not have a period until November 2018. Which was so heavy I fainted. Although I do have adenomyosis so maybe that affected this somewhat?

The first time I was on it for almost 2 years and it took just over a year for my periods to return and in between I have been on on it a couple of times for only a year and a half and they came back within 6 months. I think the longer you are on it can have some affect but it does vary from person to person.

Not what you're looking for?
