irregular periods after depo Posted: 06-24-08 08:05am
Ok i
will get straight to the point..
I was on the depo injection for 2 years
and came off on march the 15th,i decided
not to go on the pill as i hadnt had a
period for months and thought i would let
me body try and sort its self out...anyway
me and my boyfriend have been together for
just over 2 years and are serious and we
always have unprotected sex..well on
friday 20th june i noticed a few blobs of
like pinkish/light brownish blood in my
underwear so i though maybe my period has
finally come back after 10months,so i put
a tampon in.
A couple of hours later i decided to take
it out and there was just a tiny bit of
brownish/pinkish blood so i didnt bother
using another one....had nothing for the
rest of the day!saturday also had a few
blobs in my underwear and since then
nothing...could this be implantation
bleeding or just my body sorting its self
out??im kvery confused..i dont know when
im ovulating or am ment to have a period
as before my periods were very
irregular..should i just wait a couple of
weeks and do a test??
sorry to mumble on but any info would be
great
xx

Although it can take some time for your
body to get back to normal after depo you
could start ovulating straight away so
there's always a possibility of pregnancy.
I would take a test (take it around
10-14days after unprotected sex to try get
an accurate result) - use condoms until
then if you don't want to get pregnant and
so that you are leaving the right amount
of time between sex and the test, if that
makes sense.
Also, not every pregnancy will have
implantation bleeding (i've been pregnant
three times and never had it) so it's
possible it could be spotting as your body
returns to normal after the depo.
