Conceiving after
depo provera is
not immediately possible. You need to study and be aware
of all the facts connected with it. It is a hormone
which is used to help birth control in a woman’s body.
Its effect is very long lasting compared to other forms
of birth control remedies. It is normally injected in a
woman after a period of 11 weeks. Once it has been given
to you, it will start acting after 24 hours after the
first injection has been given to you. But it needs to
be given in the first 5 days of the menstrual cycle for
it to be effective immediately. Most women then keep
taking it every 11 weeks to continue the effect of birth
control in their body.
The reason depo provera is
effective in preventing birth is because it prevents the
emission of hormones in your body which are useful for
stimulating the ovaries
. Thus ovulation doesn’t occur.
Besides this, it also changes the cervical mucus by
thickening it, thus successfully preventing the entry of
the sperm into your uterus. Most women like to use it as
it has a very high success rate in preventing pregnancy
in a woman.
How Depo
Provera effects the ability to
conceive:
But when women who are using depo
provera, want to conceive, they should be aware of the
following things - firstly you cannot escape from the
effects of depo provera for a period of 3 months once
you have injected it in you. Even if you stop its usage,
it normally takes anywhere between 3-9 months for your
period to re-occur in your body. Thus you will need to
be patient at least for a period of 9-12 months to conceive after
you have stopped taking depo provera. This seems to be a
very long period to wait for many women who want to get
pregnant as early as possible. Some women even need as
much as 15-18 months to get pregnant
after they have
stopped using it.
Thus you need to weigh all the pros
and cons of depo provera if you want to
conceive after you have used it
. It is much better to
use the holistic method of birth control. Since it is a
natural method, you can always get into the reproductive
mode as and when you want to get pregnant. And there are
no side effects visible in the holistic approach when
you try the natural method of birth control.
