irregular periods after depo
Posted: 06-24-08 08:05am

Confused 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.

Good luck
