Q: Constant Bleeding?

I have been off the depo-provera shot for about 4 months now I have been having a period for 2 weeks straight. While on depo, I only spotted a tiny bit but never had a period. I am wondering when this period will stop and will it ever get back to my normal 3-4 day time period?

Your body needs time to adjust.It may take a while,a real pain,i know.I stopped the pill in late april and I am still trying to get back on track.My doc said it can take up to six months to straighten out!!Yuk!!!Call your doc and ask if there is anything you should be doing.You will probably be told to be patient.Good luck to you.Patty

I agree!! Your body does need time to adjust. I've been on depo for 10 months. For the past two months straight i've been spotting and bleeding. I have read a lot of posting and I see that this is common when using depo. Once november comes around and i'm due for my next shot i'm switching! My doc told me that once you have been on depo for 6 months, what you have is what you'll stay with (bleeding wise). I'd suggest stay on it for two more months and see if there is any change. I hope this helps.

She is bleeding because she went off of depo, not because she is on it.
I cannot tell you how long it will take, because everyone is different. It is a real pain, I know. And depo really does a number on your body. But, give it time!
