I've been on the DePo shot for about 6 weeks now.. I got my period a week late which was 2 weeks ago and i'm still bleeding.. My normal period length is 4-5 days. Has anyone experienced this? When should I contact my doctor?
Usually the depo shot slows down the period or makes it go away if I remember correctly. I had the opposite problem when I took it. Bled until it was out of my system. I would call and see if it is normal. They will probably just give you an answer on the phone but it will put your mind at ease
My doc said crazy symptoms should go away after the 2nd depo shot post-baby. I've been bleeding for 8 weeks and nauseated. Just weird side effects and hormones.
I'm on the Minipill and had similar symptoms. (Still no period yet, though.) I bled until about 13 weeks postpartum, and now it has stopped and I get nauseated and all kinds of weird symptoms. I actually keep wondering if I'm pregnant again because the symptoms are so similar! But I think it's just the crazy hormones. They really are the worst!
