ok i'm on the shot and i've had my peroid for the last 9 days a couple of days ago it had slowed to just spotting i had sex the other day and now its back to heavy. i know the shot can mess with your peroid but why would sex make the flow heavier. my peroids don't usally last more then 4 days. should i see a doctor about this or is it normal.

Hi dontknow2004, welcome!

Irregular bleeding is a common side effect of Depo. It might be that the movement of your uterus and contractions during IC caused an already unstable endometrium to leak more heavily. A call to your doc would let him or her know what's going on and relieve your mind. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

I don't know how long you've been on the shot, but I had VERY irregular bleeding the whole time I was on it. Basically i had a little spotting almost everyday and it would just get heavier around my 'period' altho it honestly never seemed to stop.

Definitely call your doctor, and hopefully you'll be nearing the end of your shot cycle so you can find something else if you decide to switch methods!!

Good luck!
