First Time On the Depo Shot And I Won't Stop Bleeding!!! Posted: 06-30-07 11:26am


I recieved my first shot on May 25, 2007. I got my period a week late. I'm usually on for 7 days but it's now the 11th day and I'm STILL bleeding. It's not heavy. But, I'm getting worried. How long should I wait before I contact my doctor? Is this normal? What should I do? I'm freaking out over here!

I would call your doctor at the first sign of something being different, so now would be a good time.

Strange bleeding like that is a side effect of starting or stopping Depo. Some women lose their period altogether on Depo, while others just bleed and bleed for weeks. Your ob-gyn should have discussed that with you before you got the shot. So it sounds like a normal Depo reaction to me, but always let your ob-gyn know about your symptoms anyway.
