Well when I was on the depo shot I had constand brown dischaarge blood tyle stuff, the only way I could have stopped this was by going on the pill as well, btu I didnt want to overload my body with so many hormones.

They give a set dose according to weight I would believe. But if shes on the pill.. And on the depo I really really doubt she will get pregnant..

Best of luck

With depo, you will either 1. Bleed regularly, 2. Bleed all the time, or 3. Never bleed.

Your wife is probably experiencing a common side effect that many women get with depo... Bleeding all the time. It is like having a period all the time. I am a little alarmed that her obgyn didnt discuss these side effects when they put her on the depo??

I suggest she stops the depo and just uses the pill as a contraceptive... Was it recommended by her obgyn to use 2 forms of birth control? That sounds very very dangerous to me.
