I was using the depo injection on and off for about a year.. i was never consistent with it. my last injection was on the 20 of June. in September i was bleeding very hard for about a month straight since then i have had signs of a period but it never lasts for more than 1 hour. i have taken pregnancy tests and all are negative.. i have had all the signs of pregnancy but a negative test for 3 months now.. has this happened to anyone else and what do you suggest?? Thank you

It's not uncommon to have problems with your cycle after being on Depo, as it can screw things up for 18 months to 2 years after you stop taking it. I would say you aren't pregnant and your body is just trying to correct itself.
