period while on Depo???
| Thu, 03-18-2004 - 4:02pm |
Hi,
I had the BC shot injection in my hip on mid January, and earlier this week, I started my period. The doctor told me that it should last for 3 months, which would be mid April, can anyone tell me what may have started my period earlier than expected? Should I be worried? Thanks for any help :)

Irregular bleeding is a common side effect during the first few months on Depo. See: http://www.contraceptiononline.org/contrareport/article01.cfm?art=256 I don't think you have anything to worry about, but you might want to let your doc know what's going on.
Good luck
