I was on Depot and it caused me to be on my period for three months-and another month after I was OFF the depot. I was told to get an ultrasound, the results where normal, so my doctor concluded that it was just the depot making me bleed, so she suggested that I start on the pill.

I started taking the pill and for the first month I didn't have a period, but I had my period twice in February, one time I only bled for three days, the second I bled for 9 days. That was two weeks ago, and I started bleeding again yesterday.

Is this normal for the pill?

That does soudn fairly normal, especially since you are trying to get the DEPO out of your system.

Since you did not have a peirod the first month, your body is probably quite confused with everything that is going on hormonally.
