Women's Health :: Bleeding After Depo-provera
Oct 8, 2013
I had my daughter 5 months ago, and at my 6 week checkup I opted for the depo shot. I didn't like the side effects, so I didn't go back to get it a second time. Right before it was time for me to get it again, I started bleeding. And it's been a month and I'm still bleeding. It's not super heavy but like a normal period, but it NEVER stops. I had to take iron after c-section bc I lost a lot of blood and was anemic, but only for 2 months. I'm wondering if I should take iron again since I've been bleeding so long. And I've called my ob and she said I could go to planned parenthood to get checked since I don't have insurance right now. But other people have said it's normal, so I keep waiting. Anyone been through this?

In January I decided to be put on birth control because my boyfriend at the time didnt want any babies or anything of that sort. I had a horrible time with the depo shot with continuous spotting through the 3 months. It was finally the end of march when my shot was supposed to be up and I did not want another dose. Well it is now the end of july and i have been bleeding every day since. Its not a lot but it really is annoying and i am starting to get worried. I am also terrified of doctors so that is my last resort. Did any one else have this problem? Will it eventually stop?

I've been on the Depo-Provera shot for about a year now & today I've started bleeding but I've never had sex before, I've never had this problem before. I've never missed a shot I go back next month for another shot. Should I tell the doctor when i go back next month about it?

Okay so I was on the depo shot since feb. Of last year (2013). I've been getting it every three months. Well I was suppose to get it on feb. 28 but I decided to stop. I was bleeding lightly before I was suppose to get the shot. After the day I didn't get it my period got heavier and now it hasn't stop. Is it normal or should I be concerned?

Okay so I'm 20 years old and been on depo for 5 years. I'll usually start spotting a bit a couple days before my next shot is due, I think they said that's normal because it's wearing off. Well my next shot isn't due for about 17 days and I bled a little the other day but it stopped right away. Well today I went to use the bathroom and it looked like I was on my period baaaad (ruined my white VS undies too ) so any ideas of why this is or what I should do?

Don't judge, & if you are keep your fingers to yourself.
I got my first depo shot on January 11th 2013!
I had unprotected sex On February 1st..I'm 19 btw.
Then on February 27th I had some red spotting the next day dark brown and ever since I've been bleeding/spotting non stop red and dark brown sometimes tan...but when it's brown and its during the day and I don't need to pee at that time so when it sits there where the dik goes in (pardon me) it burns that's happened only a few times && today is May 11th 2013 and I'm still bleeding/ spotting...I'm so confused...but this depo shot is WACK. I don't recommend it to anyone!! And I was supposed to get my shot on April 4th..but hell no that did not happen.

I've had two depo shots. I got the first in June 2015, the next in September and I'm due for another one at the end of November. I experienced light bleeding/spotting during months July-Sept. After my second shot in Sept, I began to experience mild/heavy bleeding. It is said that bleeding would most likely stop after 6 months of using depo-provera.Should I wait it out or change birth control method?

Hi there, I am an 18 y/o female and I have been taking the birth control Kariva since I was 15 for PCOS. About a month ago, I had intercourse with my boyfriend, and afterwards I bled heavily and cramped really bad for a week. I know this bleeding was not my period because I still had a week to go before I took my pills that would start my period. When it was time for me to get my period, I had light bleeding and it ended a day earlier than it should. We used a condom and I take my birth control between 5pm-6pm every night. Does anyone know what could have happened to me? Am I pregnant? I'm just really worried because now I've become bloated, constipated, and I have pain in my lower left and right sides.

I already had my period this month. Literally comes the 1st of the month. Monday I lost my job and yesterday I had sex with my husband. I haven't noticed any spotting all day until just now. I got up to go to the bathroom and when I wiped there was bright red blood.
Normally when I'm with my husband we are very active and try many positions. His favorite being from behind. Yesterday I noticed that he was hurting me, felt like he was hitting my insides and normally that doesn't happen.
I'm just wondering if it's a normal thing in the sense it has happened to other women and maybe it's just from being a little more active.

Does anybody else have problems with this? I've been to several gynos over the last decade and nobody seems to want to give me any kind of resolution. I can't take birth control as it gives me extremely high blood pressure and am not willing to risk the hormonal IUD either. Hormonal birth control of any kind is a no for me as I have been on them all. I have an appointment scheduled in the hopes of getting a prescription for a non hormonal blood reducer called Lysteda but I've heard it's expensive and may not be covered by insurance.

I have been with the same person for a year. For the first 6-7 months I never bled then all of a sudden I started bleeding every time, even when it isn't rough. Instead of getting wet it's bloody now. I've never had a regular period but always have bad cramps around the time I should start my period. I took birth control pills before to help but it never helped. It's really embarrassing to bleed every time and completely ruins the mood.

Should I be concerned that I'm bleeding for so long after the first time I had sex?
I had sex exactly a week ago and did not bleed until the day after. The blood is bright red and I've been experiencing a lot of cramping too. I'm in the pill and we used a condom so I know I'm not pregnant and it's not time for me to have my period for another week or so.
And top of the constant bleeding I have past 3 small rubbery blood clots...I know disgusting right? But this has never happened before. What's happening? Did I tear something? Should I go to a doctor or just wait?
