Past Depo User, Period or Implantation?
| Mon, 12-18-2006 - 1:42am |
I'm 20.
I was on Depo Provera for 4 years.
My last shot was March 2006, I was suppose to get a shot in June, but decided against it.
I finally got my period back in August...
since then i've had 3 or 4 periods:
August 13th was the first and it was regular and lasted five days.
38 days later I had my second period on September 19th, again-five days and normal.
46 days after that I had my third period on November 3rd, again-five days and normal.
35 days later on December 7th I thought my period started and was expecting it to be another five days of regular menstrual flow, but instead it was five days of brown blood, during the five days I used tampons just to keep the brown discharge from ruining my clothes, but it wasn't enough to be what I would consider "a normal period"=a lot of red blood using a few tampons a day. I would put in a tampon when I woke up, leave it in for a couple hours, take it out and see there wasn't much brownish blood on it and decide not to use another tampon until the next day (because it would have been a waste to keep putting a new one in every few hours when there wasn't enough blood anyways). For those five days (ending on Dec. 12th) I never saw red blood, and most of the brownish stuff was only seen when I would wipe.
I know most woman do not ovulate until a year after they quit depo (keep in mind my last shot was March 2006) My husband and I have been having unprotected sex for months now,
so my question is, was this my period? or could this have been implantation bleeding?
