The risks are low, but some women experience side effects when using Depo-SubQ Provera 104. Minor ones include (spotting) or some gain weight. Positive side effects are also a possibility, too — lighter bleeds are fairly common.
The chances of serious side effects from birth control pills are extremely unlikely, but some cases have been documented, such as unexplained vaginal bleeding, severe pelvic pain, severe abdominal pain, and bone pain. Depo-SubQ 104 has been associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD). However, pregnancy results in a greater potential loss of BMD. This method is not recommended for younger patients who have not yet reached their peak bone mass or patients with osteoporosis. Alternatives to Depo-SubQ Provera would be the pill, patch, ring.
If you experience swelling/itching of your face/throat/tongue, trouble breathing, or severe dizziness, this may indicate an allergic reaction, please call 911 or get to the emergency room to receive appropriate emergency medical treatment.

A Singaporean woman was found to be in the midst of a miscarriage in June 2012 and underwent emergency treatment at the Royal Children’s Hospital.
“I was in the early stages of labour and was given the injection every day and I could not remember anything at all until the day of the miscarriage on the day of the birth,” said the mother of a 23-year-old male child who was in the womb. “I had been told it was very likely due to having an irregular menstrual cycle, and I was so scared and worried. I asked the nurse how it could be happening but they said it could be due to the progestin and she told me I was not being given a progestin but had been given an oestrogen. I had been told I would be given an injection every three days but that was not possible if I wanted to. I was given the med by the doctor and I knew it was not going to help.”
The baby had been in the womb for almost 2 years, but was still miscarried.
“I was very scared and so worried when I read the birth announcement but I was given the shot by my doctor,” she added.
The woman, who was not a doctor, had been diagnosed with endometriosis, a type of endometriosis that occurs in the womb, which affects the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) and can be due to either hormone therapy or medication. In some cases, hormone therapy may be used to treat symptoms of endometriosis, such as pain or discomfort, but this has not been confirmed by other studies. In her case, the doctor had prescribed Depo-Provera, a progestin-only birth control pill, which is a synthetic version of progesterone which works to prevent the ovaries from releasing a progestin hormone. This treatment is available without a prescription in the United Kingdom.
While the mother was taking the contraceptive, the doctor also prescribed the progestin, but did not advise her to take it again after the end of the cycle. “The progestin did not help me as I was given the injection. I was told the progestin was not going to help me,” she said.
After the emergency treatment, the woman was given the injection again on her third day, but the doctor continued to prescribe progestin on her fourth day, after which she stopped.
“I did have another injection on the fourth day and it did help me, but it was a bit of a pain. I didn’t like the last one so I was told to get a different one as well.”
The mother of the male baby was also diagnosed with endometriosis, and was given a progestin-only injection every three days, which the doctor prescribed to her on the fourth day after the last injection.
“I was so scared,” the mother said. “I was very nervous, but I had a little panic attacks as well, so I just wanted to be normal. I also had an irregular period, and I had a painful and irregular bleed on my right arm. It would have been painful to have it. I had to go to the hospital immediately and told the nurse I had had an irregular period. I couldn’t remember what the progestin was, but I was so scared, I asked the nurse how it could be. She told me I was not being given a progestin but had been given an injection. I had no idea it could be due to having an irregular cycle. I had been given the med by the doctor. I was given the progestin on the fifth day. I was so scared, I asked the nurse how it could be due to having an irregular period. I was given the med on the fifth day.
“I had a miscarriage and it was so bad. I didn’t want to be pregnant because I was so scared.
Depo-Provera is a contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic hormone known as a progestogen. It is a prescription contraceptive drug that is used to prevent pregnancy by altering the menstrual cycle and altering the reproductive hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. It is available in 2 strengths: 150 mg and 150 mg. Each injection is given once a day for 12 weeks. The injections are given in the morning.
Depo-Provera is a contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic hormone that is used to prevent pregnancy by altering the menstrual cycle and altering the reproductive hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. It also contains the hormone progestogen, which is also known as a progestogen in many countries.
Depo-Provera contains medroxyprogesterone acetate and progestogen, which work together to prevent pregnancy. The injection is given once a day to prevent pregnancy by altering the menstrual cycle and changing the menstrual cycle and altering the reproductive hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. This is done through the action of the hormone progestogen, which is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain.
While Depo-Provera is generally well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects. Common side effects may include:
If you experience any severe side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider immediately.
Depo-Provera is typically taken for three to six months. While it may take several months to experience the full benefits, it can take several years for the drug to become fully effective. Some men may experience some menstrual changes that are not noticeable, but it is not an uncommon cause of infertility.
Some medications may interact with Depo-Provera and it may become necessary to monitor any side effects closely. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are recommended to monitor any changes to your health.
No, Depo-Provera should be taken daily as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
No, Depo-Provera is not recommended for continued use due to its long half-life.
The effects of Depo-Provera typically last for five to six months.
Provera, with medroxyprogesterone as its active ingredient, is a synthetic hormone replacement therapy drug that may be used to treat infertility in women. It works by preventing the release of ovulation-stimulating hormone (Luteinising hormone) from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
Provera contains medroxyprogesterone as its active ingredient. Medroxyprogesterone is a progestogen that is converted into progestin in the body to induce ovulation. Medroxyprogesterone helps to suppress the release of ovulation-stimulating hormone (Luteinising hormone) from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This helps the body produce more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) than normal levels.
Provera is a progestogen that is used to control menstrual irregularities. It is not a replacement drug to be used on a cycle basis due to the need to control the menstrual irregularities. Menstrual control is usually a part of a woman's menstrual cycle to prevent the occurrence of ovulation. Provera is a controlled substance that works by preventing the release of ovulation-stimulating hormone (Luteinising hormone) from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
The most common side effects of Provera include:
If you experience any of these side effects or have any concerns about them go to your nearest accident and emergency department.
Like any drug, Provera should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. However, you must also follow the dosage recommended by your doctor to avoid any side effects.
If you are taking the medicine for infertility treatment, you must take a pill every morning, and be sure to complete the entire course of treatment, even if you feel better after one to two pills. Stopping the treatment early may cause the symptoms to return. Provera is not recommended for women with certain hormonal conditions, including ovarian cysts, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and endometriosis.
You must also take a pregnancy test while you are taking Provera and if you have any of the following symptoms should go away:
Some men should not take a PPI. Tell your doctor about all your medications, including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements, as they may interact with Provera.
You must inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking, including medicines called ‘PPI’. The PPI is a synthetic hormone that is used to treat menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. The medicine is usually given for three months or longer after a cycle of Provera.
It usually takes at least three months to start to work. It is important to continue taking Provera for three months to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit from your treatment.
