Will Depo Provera affect my surgeries even if I'm off it for a week?

Unfortunately because Depo-Provera is a long lasting contraceptive, with the small span of time between your last shot and surgery date, you would likely still be at high risk for DVT and blood clots. You should at the very least have one full menstrual cycle (28 days respectively) before surgery. My suggestion would be to bring this up with your surgeon and possibly reschedule it for a later date. Safety first!Thank you for your question and for using good judgement!Melinda Lacerna, MD, FACS
