something else???


I had my daughter the beginning of January. At my 2 week post-partum appointment the OB put me on Ortho Evra. Anywho...after starting that at 4 weeks post-baby I had a 2 week long period (no fun). I recently switched to the Depo shot(got my 1st shot in March...the patch was really irritating my skin). Anywho...I got my period about 2 weeks ago and it's still here. What's the deal??

Ok...here's the dealie.

I talked to my doctor..or actually a nurse. They said that it's a normal side effect to the shot. But if the bleeding lasts for more that 4 weeks to give them a call.

Thanks for the help!!
