Irregular periods after stop using depo shot contraception could be expected but continuous bleeding should be checked by some gynecologist. Lutera can help if the bleeding is functional (has no organic origin). But if the bleeding is organic (caused by infection, tumor, endometriosis, hyperplasion, trauma etc.) Lutera probably won't help.

micronor s/e Posted: 04-30-08 14:29pm


hi.im also into micronor (jolivette)for a month now.i started taking april 10 and by april 18 i had spotting until now.. .. i realy have no idea if i am mestruating or spotting( ive been on Primulot N before taking micronor) because the flow is mild to moderate and it was painful at times like im having dysmenorrhea...just last night it was terribly painful about 3hours.im passing small blood clots and this morning i had discharges looked like a chicken thin sliced (not red color) with a blood clot on it.do you experience the same with mine?my gyne told me its normal to have spotting for a couple of months..but she doesnt told me about painful bleeding.however, i wasnt alarmed about this since the bleeding is not consistent.anyway, pls tell me what you experienced while on micronor. thanks!

Wow that is a long time to be bleeding. When I saw your post I thought I could help cause after 5 years of depo I bled for an entire month. Some cases I have heard of bleeding for 3 months but never a year and a half. I would defintately bring this up to your doctor and find out if its a side affect of the shot or something entirly different. Sorry I could be of more help
