I read that there are studies that have tried to link PCOS to Depo-Provera users. I took depo for 5 years in my 20’s. After seeing numerous drs and specialist I was diagnosed with PCOS at 35 (now 43). Just wondering how many of you also used depo.
i was on depo-provera for 5 years until September 2017 and was diagnosed with PCOS this month. I had no idea there was a correlation, very interesting indeed
No. I've been on the Depo Shot and haven't had a period in a long while. Once it was explained to me, I've had no worries concerning not having a period.
Ive done really well in the past with weight loss. It’ll go really well for some time and then stop completely. I hate that PCOS had made me gaib abdominal weight and makes it harder to lose. Does anyone have any suggestions who is consistently losing weight?
Ive had steady slow weight loss since 2003 for me the weight loss was kicked off with going onto high gear by going onto depo provera while on it lost close to 100 pounds and when i went off it i was… read more
Anyone else NEVER get a period?
I only do when I take Provera.
I have already tried Metformin, Vitex, weight loss, exercise, clean eating. Still have never had a cycle on my own.
I just started taking inositol, so I'll give that a shot for a few months to see if that helps at all. Any other ideas? Is there anything you have been able to do to naturally get a period?
I’m the same.,.I haven’t had a period in so long and I’m trying to regulate my hormones so I can get one..I know of a YouTuber who had pcos and she didn’t have her period for 6 years die to pcos
Has anyone got on the pill to see if it helps get your hormones or track ? Or should i avoid them ?
I never felt right on any type of birth control, eventually I ended up finding a doctor that treats my hormones individually. I take progesterone to raise mine, which in turn forces testosterone down… read more
Can provera help me get pregnant?
Update 3/12/2023: Doctor said what I'm going through is quite normal. She did suggest that I should have gotten my DEPO shot there instead of Planned Parenthood, ONLY because they would have given me something to help get rid of whatever this period is doing.
I got diagnosed with PCOS back in August/September of 2022. I started the DEPO shot around Christmas time of 2022 and started medication, called spironolactone, at the beginning of the year. I had some period cramps the last week of… read more
Since you have got PCOS, plus have started on the depo, i would say its just one of them horrible side effects of that. Sometimes my cycle can be just as you have described. As of now, i haven’t had a… read more

Hello Everyone!
Has anyone else experienced prolonged bleeding while having PCOS?? I’ve had this “period” since December 2017 and was recently put on birth control to stop the bleeding due to becoming anemic. I’ve had a Pap smear and it came back “normal”. Is there something out there (besides birth control) I can take to stop this issue?
Thank you,
Monica
Take medroxy progesterone when you start bleeding. It helps me.
My doctor prescribed me the depo shot, to stop my longated periods, my problem with the depo is that it’s giving me a lot of pain not only that is it really good for someone who has a hormonal problem to take the depo? Is it ok to not have your period at all?
I’ve been told that it’s okay to not have a period as long as you’re on some form of birth control. Bc if you’re not on something and you’re also not having a period your uterine lining will keep… read more
