I am 21 years old and i went off the shot about 4 months ago. I finaly have my first period. I have ben on it about 2 weeks now and i have to chang my pad every hour, and i am wereing those big pads that are like diapers. Also every time i change my pad i have to set on the tolet so the huge blood clots can come out. It is like giving birth , i have to push them out they are so big. My periods i used to have were very light and only lasted 5-8 days. I am tired of this. Is this normal ? some one help . PLEASE!!

Well really, it is good that you are already having a period. A lot of people don't have them for a year afterwards. I have now just decided to get off of depo after being on it for about 4 years. I was on it because of the severity of my periods but it has made them like what you are describing. Were your periods light w/ depo or w/o? It said in one of the articles on here that if it is that heavy for that long to contact your doctor. Also, I'd make sure to be taking vitamins such as iron and folic acid(that's what many people have stated to take with this problem). I experience the big clots while on depo. I'm beginning to believe the female body is too complicated for my own good :)
