I was on the depo shot for 9 months (3 shots)I have been off of the Depo shot for over 6 months.Before depo I had regular periods lasting about 3-4 days a month. I still am dealing with constant spotting and am so fed up I just want to get back to my normal cycle. does anyone know of a Non-prescription or natural way of helping me to regain my normal cycle I dont have health insurance so I would obviously like any suggestions of an over the counter,natural or homeopathic remedy for this. Thank you.

I, too, was eager to eliminate depo from my system. Finally it has happened, but it took about 5 months after my last shot. I drank lots of water and green tea to try to eliminate toxins. I don't know if it really helped or not, but I'm glad to be back to normal. Depo is something I would never try again, and will not recommend to anyone.

Hi there,


Try taking a good women's multivitamin if you're not already.
