Hi, I have been on depo-provera for about 15 months and the first 7 months I bleed continuosly. I hadn't been sexually active after I stopped getting my period until lately, evrytime I do anything sexual with my new boyfrined I start bleeding. It only lasts for a few hours and then there's nothing. Does anyone know if this is caused by the depo-provera shot, if so what can I do???? I'm so frustrated!

Yeah,i would see my doc asap.I really haven't heard much good about depo.Depo sounds great,only getting a shot a few times a year,no pills to worry about.It seems that a lot of depo users have problems with it.I've never used depo,but from what i've read here,i don't think it would be a choice I would make.See if there is a better method for you.Good luck.Patty
