Hi,
I used to favour the Depo Provera contraceptive injection but my Oncologist recommended I stop using it til my treatment is done due to the risk of deep vein thrombosis. I had my first FEC on 17th March and my next Depo injection would have been due early April but obviously I did not have it done. I have not had a period, and on previous occasions where I have been giving my body a break from hormonal contraception I have bled about a week after I should have normally have had another course of the depo/pill. I am SURE I am not pregnant as we have been careful. Is it normal for periods to stop altogether this soon? (I have had 2 FECs and my third is due on Monday) my Oncologist explained that chemo can make a woman infertile, but that I should keep a record in my diary if I had any bleeding during treatment. I will obviously mention this to my Oncologist when I speak to him before my next FEC but I wondered what happened to other peoples’ menstrual cycles during FEC, especially if they had been using Depo.
