irregular bleeding?
| Sun, 10-09-2005 - 8:00pm |
Lately, I've had the worst bleeding ive ever had. Usually, my periods were horrible...the worst part being cramps and heavy bleeding. I was on Depo-provera for about 2 years, when i first started on depo i bled for about 6 months straight. This past month, i stopped using depo. While i havent had the horrible cramps i used to have....my bleeding just isnt right. It's bright red and i soak through anything in about 2 hours. I havent noticed many blood clots, but i know my body well enough to know that this isnt normal for me. Could this be caused by depo or could something else be behind this? Any comments or advise would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately depo can have lingering effects. The transition time from when you had your last shot till when your normal cycle returns varies widely from one woman to another. Since you had trouble while on the shot as well, then you may find the transition period longer. Hopefully however you will be lucky and this will be very temporary.
