"The Shot"?
Question:
Answers:
The shot really messes with your hormones, but it's still a good form of birth control and to stop periods (I'm on the shot). Any time you put a foreign substance in your body such as the shot, when you're done with it, you should take an antioxidant and eat foods with antioxidants in them. Green tea is an antioxidant and tomatoes are antioxidants. You can buy pills and liquids that are antioxidants as well.
I hope this helped! Good luck, hun.
Not at all. It can take 6-8 months (or up to a year) for the shot to clear your system completely. Menstrual irregularities are normal during that time.
Not necessarily. There could be traces of hormones from the shot still lingering your body, which would affect your period, plus a month and a half isn't really that long to go without your period; sometimes it just likes to take its dear sweet time. However, if you think there's any chance at all you could be pregnant, do a test just to be sure before you go back onto any birth control.
No, it can take up to one year after your last injection for your period to resume.
