Babies: 0 - 3 Months

1st Period & Depo Shot

Hey y'all! Congrats on the new editions to your families. I have a quick question though....i got the depo shot shortly after my 6week check up as a safe form of birth control since i was still nursing at the time. Shortly after I got the shot I recieved my first period ....its now been over a month and a half and im getting really frustrated. Even though the dr said it was normal...has this ever happened to anyone else? and how long is this supposed to last?

Re: 1st Period & Depo Shot

  • Depends on each person. My first time on depo, I never had a period for the 2 years I was on it. I'm back on it now and haven't had a period yet. My sister has been on 3 months and had some spotting for a few days. Then I had a friend who spotted consistently for 5 months. No one can tell you how long it will last. Everyone will have a different experience on it.
