depo-provera
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!
I think you should talk with you doctor to see whats going on and also that you should of check out the side effects before getting on the Depo Provera shot because Deop can cause Irregular, heavy, or no bleeding are common side effects of Depo Provera. After a year of use, many women stop having periods. Lack of a period becomes increasingly common with longer use but since your period hasn't stop you should see your doctor.
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.
Depo Provera { Started 5/20/2010, Last Shot 2/9/2012 }
Before I started getting the Depo Provera Injections I always had a normal, slightly heavy period. Minimal cramping. After taking Depo Provera for 1 year I finally lost my periods.
When I was 16 I got on the depo cause I've heard great things about it and even the drs. said it'd be the best for me because I had major migraines where I would see flashing lights and every part of my body would go numb, the said it was due to my menstral cycle. So I started the depo and I had a period for 2 months one HUGE migraine for 3 days and the everything stopped, Well I have given birth to 2 kids and I wasn't on the depo after the first so this is new to me.
Some days it’s light and some days it’s heavy. I don’t know if it’s my period or just withdrawal bleeding from that one Depo shot. On 2/5/18, I had sex for the first time since November while I was spotting lightly. We used a condom and it broke at some point and he kept going for like a minute and put another one on till he finished. He says he didn’t *** in me but I am not sure. It’s been 3 days since it happened. Today I started getting bad cramps in my stomach...should I get plan b....
"Ive been on the depo provera for two months now. In the first month I didnt have a period but second month I bleed for two weeks. It stopped last week and this week im bleeding again and having lower back pain and sharp stomach cramps. What could this be?
In December 2013, our family doctor suggested she have the Depo Provera for birth control and to regulate her heavy menses. Mid January she came down with viral like symptoms (aches, pains, fevers, fatigue). This led to severe pelvic pain and pain in her bottom. On 2/22/14, I rushed her to the ER. They said her colon, bladder & intestines were swollen and inflamed. Her colon in fact was close to rupturing. She was admitted, and underwent biopsies which caused her bladder to perforate.

Sometimes its spooting or light to heavy bleeding.and am expriencing low abdorminal pains ( cramps ) and bach pain. Blood is sometimes brownish in colour. Neausea is also a problem .
I still have not stopped besided maybe a day here and a day there. It has went between spotting to heavy ( 1 pad every hour) bleeding. My big concern is, When I was 17 I had an abnormal pap smear and then a LEEP biopsy. With the LEEP biopsy it was confirmed that I had HPV. Since then I have changed OB/GYNs and Nothing has been said about it. I also have an Hx of ovarian cysts. I have contacted my GYN and he is on vacation and cannot see me until April 1st.
In October, I got my first shot of Depo-Provera. I know several women on depo and they have all told me they have had the same experience: no periods, no spotting and no other side effects whatsoever. My experience has been horrible. For the first 6 weeks, all was well, no bleeding/spotting and no other symptoms. A few weeks ago, however, I began spotting. Every day it became heavier.

for the past 2 1/2 years I have been bleeding abnormally. It started when I first started the depo provera.
I stayed on it for 9 months trying to work with my OB GYN to figure out why I was bleeding so much.
She put me on estrogen pills because I'm a small person and didn't have the fat cells to store the estrogen.
I bled more when I took the pills so I stopped taking them and just got off the shot.
Pregnancy occurring during the use of the shot is usually an undetected pregnancy before the shot is given. One of the side effects of Depo-Provera is irregular menstrual bleeding. 50% of women will stop getting their period after 1 year of the shot. The period usually returns after stopping the shots, however, it can take 3 months to a year for the effects of Depo-Provera to wear off and fertility to return.
I would like to say that my doctor actually went to a seminar regarding depo and calcium loss and their is no substantial evidence that state this is true. I've been on depo for nearly 10 years straight with no calcium loss.
I actually quit depo because of that rumor, and I gravely regret that. After visiting my doctor, he found this seminar and went just to learn more about my inquiry of the long term effects.
I've been on depo provera for 15 years and my periods stopped right away. I'm 45 years old and just had a period that lasted 5 days. My question is whether or not depo provera is still working as my birth control choice? Is there a way to know if depo provera is no longer working and if I may get pregnant?
My bleeding is so bad i would soak through pads. I got on the depo shot and it did help the bleeding alot but I still bleed heavy, just not as many clots and not soaking through pads. My fibroids still bother me very bad. I did some research and came across alot of women who said they took Apple cidar vinegar and it helped and or shrunk their fibroids. Since I have been bleeding for almost 28 days straight, I decided to start taking it since it couldn't hurt.
I was on Depo provera for 2 years after I came off it for one month I fell pregnant...very lucky. My daughter is now 4 and I have been on depo again for those four years. I plan to start trying for baby number two after our wedding in september this year. I recently was due for my injection but decided to give my body a break so I didn't have the injection.
i have tried everything, from lupron, to laparoscopies, to yaz, to smoking marijuana - currently i am on Depo Provera and have been for the past year and a half. I am noticing a lot of side affects from this as time goes on, and unfortunately for me this has been the only thing that even remotely helps, and i still have a lot of pain.
I'm 19 and ive been on the depo provera shot for about 3 weeks and my period pains are excruciating and i have had it for about 2 weeks now. whats going on!
