It's probably because of the shot, unfortunately that's pretty common. However, if you think you are losing too much blood, you will want to see your doc to make sure you don't get anemic or anything.

I'm so glad to have found this forum. I am 24 years old and have been trying to figure this problem out. I am generally healthy never had any issues and never took any form of birth control until August 08- Depo, I had spotting for the first few weeks then no period and I was THRILLED (although not having sex it was still nice to not worry) toward November when I was due for my 2nd depo shot I was bleeding again and figured it was "wearing off" and everything was normal- Then I had my period for 2 1/2 months! I decided not to get the shot again this time and my doc put me on progesterone pills for 10 days- stating everything would return to normal. I took the pills and the "period-like" bleeding stopped, but the last 3-4 months every time I have clitoral (no penetration- still not having sex) stimulation I bleed heavily for a few hours- clotted, fleshy deep red blood. I've been seeing a guy for several months and he must think I'm such a prude because I wont let his hand come anywhere near my vagina because I'd be mortified if I started bleeding all over... this is awful! HELP!!!!!!! I've also never had an abnormal pap or issues with yeast ect, but since the bleeding stopped I've had white discharge with a musky smell to it and I don't know what to do- I feel so far from sexy its unbelievable- did I ruin my body with 2 stupid depo shots I didn't even really need? This is terrible!
