Is there any thing any thing what so ever
that would help me to not start my period?
Im sitting here almost in tears as I
just went to the bath room and seen the
small amount of blood on the toliet paper.
I got my 1st depo-provera shot in febuary
I didnt bleed a month then bam 1 month
full and real heavy period off 1 week then
bam another month of heavy period then off
one week and now it looks like im going to
start again its supposed to be 3 weeks off
and 1 week on not the other way around. I
got my 2nd shot in hopes it would change
on may 4th and did I bite off more then I
can chew .Now I have to live with the
consequences. Any ideal any 1?

I am about to take my 3rd shot. I was
like you.. I was 3 months with nothing
after the first shot then bled for over a
month. Then it was almost a month and a
half before I got my period again and it
lasted 2 weeks. I haven't had it since,
but it's only been a month. My doctor
told me it takes the first 6 months of
being on the shot to regulate yourself and
even then it might not be once a month
regular. Some people stop getting after
awhile. Some get it once per shot (i had
a friend who had that.. She bled for 2
weeks but only got her period 4 times a
year). I would give it some time, it
sounds like you are still adjusting.

I only know one person who is on depo and
doesn't get her period, or has a normal
one I should say.
Everyone else I know who was on depo got a
constant period. It never went away.
Well, most of them dealt for nine months,
but no thank you. Not worth it at all.

When I was on the shot I didnt get my
period at all, I was on the pill it was
called orth-tri-cyclin and I went from the
pill to the shot, I liked the shot b/c I
didnt get my period at all I would spt for
a day then it was over everyones body is
different once your body is use to the
hormones it will respond diffrently, all I
can tell you is time is the key

Time is key if you want to bother with it.
Like I said, my doctor always told me
that by the fourth month if your period
has not evened out that it most likely
will not.
There are few women who are lucky enough
to not get their period on depo. The
rest just bleed the whole time.

I have 2 friends that went on the shot
around the same time one stopped having
her period after her4th shot, the other
stopped after her second shot, so it is
possible that you will not bleed the whole
time, so this means your periods do have a
chance to even out even after your 4th
month

I was on depo from june 2003- february
2004 and I had my daughter june 7th and
got my frist shot june 9th and I bled from
june 7th - february 15th. I stopped
bleedin until may 4th and stopped may
11th. I went on the patch may 16th. So I
have been on the patch for 6 days now and
havent bled at all. It's so wonderful so
far.

I was on depo, I started the shot while on
my period, I bled and bled for the whole 3
months and was afraid to get the shot
again, then I got my next shot just after
my period thinking maybe the reason for
the last month of having my period was
because i'd got the shot while on my
period. So the second shot, I was off my
period and I started bleeding. This led
me to bleed for almost 2 years!!! I would
never ever ever go on depo again...Ever.
I went through tampons like crazy. It was
just uncomfortable all the time, I didn't
get bad cramps, but it really hampered and
almost killed my sex life. Good luck with
it, hope you do not have the same dilemma.

Yeah, as I have said in my other posts,
depo works well for very, very few women.
I would not recommend it to anyone. And
who has four or even two shots worth of
time to bleed every day? That is just
crazy. Four depo shots is a year. Two
is six months. If you want to bleed for
that long more power to you, but I think
it is pretty immature to recommend it to
someone else.

Ok this is weird, why did all you guys
bleed and I didn't? Either there is
something wrong with you or with me..
Would hypothyroidism affect it at all.
That may have been why I would go for
about a few months without a period and
didn't start my period until 15

There isn't anything wrong with any of
you. Some women do not bleed at all on
depo. Some bleed normally and some bleed
all of the time. It is just because it
effects everyone differently.

small amount of blood on the toliet paper.
