Q: Question About Birthcontrol Shot
asked by: Kamalzoowho on February 22nd, 2007

Recently got the shot maybe about a month, I asked the nurse who administered the shot when I could have unprotected sex and she said “instantly there should be no issue.” Well I had sex that same day…. My period instantly stopped and besides being slightly moody, there has been no issue. Now I am bleeding and it is not really like a period flow but to me it seems heavy for pregnant flow…. I took a pregnancy test and it said that I was not but maybe it was too early to tell not being quite a month and all. What I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on? Should I just go to the clinic and get checked out? Just opinions would be nice! Thank you!

You got the shot while on your period? You are experiencing spotting or a light period right now. Horomonal birth control lightens your period. WHich shot are you on? How long does it last for?

The Shot is DMPA, it works on a three month cycle. The bleeding is light. I got the Shot within 5 days of the starting day of my period as directed.

kamal, it can sometimes take up to a day and a half for people to respond on here; please be more patient. I've given you all the information I can; I even repeated myself on the same subject in the birth control forum.

If you want more information, wait for people to respond - give them a day or so - or use the button up top that says "ask a doctor!" when one is online, though only post once, and only do it in the birth control forum since this is a birth control issue.

Thank you Smile
