What Are The Chances Of Conceiving With Absent Periods?
Hi I am 21years old and have been on depo provera for 4years, I have not gone back for my next injection due to wanting to concieve. I havnt had a period since I've been on this birth control, can I still get pregnant without a period? Also my endometrium lining is 4mm thick is this bad? I've heard bad things about this drug because of my age do I have a good chance of concieving?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the absence of periods and irregular bleeding are the most common sideeffects of depo shots.I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test.If the test is negative there is no chance of pregnancy and the absence of periods might be due to sideeffects of depo provera.It will take some time for the hormonal imbalance to get back to normal .Dont worry.Once the hormones get normal the chances of conception increases.
