depo-provera
I think I can help you out. So depo provera, the shot, is made up of the hormone Progesterone. Progesterone is used by the woman's body to build up our endometerium, the lining of the uterus which is shed off during one's period. By taking depo provera you are consistently having the hormone progesterone released in your body for 3 months. Increasing the intake of this hormone in your body can cause prolonged periods and heavy spotting.

Quick question... which Depo are you on? There are two kinds, that I'm aware of: Depo Provera or Depo Lupron.
I had tried the Provera when I was about 16 for about a year. I had to stop because I could not handle the side effects any longer. I did spot for about 3 months. It usually takes a few months for your system to get used to it.
The Lupron stops your period completely and basically puts your body into menopause, which is the one I am currently on.
I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding. I have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped.
I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days? I have not felt like myself lately and I am having trouble doing my everyday activities.
I have been on the Depo Provera shot for more than 5 years now. I read that the recommended amount of time that a young woman should be on Depo is only 2 years. I am 20 now and I have been on it since I was 15. I have tried to come off of it once. I bled for about 3 weeks and then got back on it. Currently I have all kinds of pain. Back, kness, neck, arms, and I have migraines. I read about a calcium deficiency when doing research about Depo Provera.

Im taking the provera pills. I take BC to help regulate my periods for the next two months but I haven't stopped this period yet.
Hi, i have a well grounded education in biology and chemistry, but it seems in the feild of tyhe womens response to hormones i am lacking. My girlfreind recieved the Depo Provera shot, a few days before she was expecting her period, she never got it, and it is now 3 weeks past, i can see how this may be normal, im not sure the exact role of progesterone. The reason i worry is one of pregnancy, allthough i cannot fashion it to be a possibility, anything is supposedly possibly.
The whole point of the provera is to kick start a period.. Its doesn't have "withdraw bleeding. I was told that if I hadn't gotten a normal period in 2 weeks to go back as something could be wrong. But luckily.. My period started that night without the meds .
I just got a shot of depo-provera birth control 3 days ago and my period was supposed to start yesterday and it hasn't. I am sexually active and the last time I had sex was on my period last month and we used condoms but I wasn't on birth control and my partner did not go all the way. I just went to the GYN and got my annual pelvic exam and my first shot of depo and so far everything has been okay.
Hello,
Depo may cause irregular bleeding and/or prolonged bleeding .The response varies in every woman. It may take about 3 months for a woman's body to adjust to Depo Provera. If the bleeding is heavy it may be suggested to consult a gynecologist. She may give some medications to control it. Heavy and prolonged bleeding can lead to weakness, hypotension and anemia. Consult a gynecologist. I hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
Im 28 and have never been pregnant slightly overweight but not too concerred and getting it back down periods were always regular and pain free went on for birth control, my husband has 1 child already and decided to start are own family.
I will be on my period for about a week and a half then stop for a couple days and start again. I was on the Depo Provera Shot and I was suppose to get it re-newed on the first on June. I also dont drink nearly enough water as I should be so I was wondering If that could be the reason why this is happening or could it be because I didn't re-new my birth control so my body is changing?
