Q: Depo Question!! Help!!

I got the Depo shot in May and I have had a period now for 32 days straight. Is this a common side effect? Being on my period for that long is driving me crazy! Should I be worried? Crying or Very sad

because you have not had your period for three months it is common to bleed for awhile after just not soaking pads inless than 1 hour. how long were you on depo? they say the longer you were on it the longer you blkeeding will be. if you are worried go see you doctor you go to a walk-in .

I just had the shot for the first time in May. I had a period after that and it stopped till June 10th. It started again and I have had bleeding since then. I have tried so many different birth controls. It seems like nothing works for me.

have you tried an iud? that might help especially with the bleeding. Have you spoke to your doctor about all this. I know sometimes it is hard to go to your doctor but I really think you should there are alot of bc's out there. I have to have the IuD as I have had blood clots in my lungs so i am very limited. Try asking the pharmasist to recomend someting they have a book there that they can look up side effects how well it works and all that kind of stuuf just need to ask them to help you. Good luck sorry can not be of more help.

Yes, this kind of bleeding is not unnormal for the depo. It effects everyone different. Myself, on one hand, no real side effects, no bleeding, i've been on it for 2 years. A girl i work with on the other hand - she got the shot and bled the whole time. Obviously she didn't go back for another shot. They tell you at the dr office that it could go both ways. It just depends on how your body reacts to it. Don't worry - unfortunately you just have to wait it out until the chemicals leave your body.sorry.
