I was on the depo prevera birth control
injection for 2 years. It was wonderful!
No period except on the rare time I would
see some spotting but everything else was
great. I had no phyisical changes and
weight gain was only 5 pounds. No cramps,
no mood swings. Now I have decided to go
off the pill so the end of last may 2005 I
did not go for my next injection. 3 weeks
after I was due for my injection I started
having a period and well its been 3-3 and
a half months later and the period still
has not stopped. One day I am spotting
and the next is a normal period but it is
on a constate daily basis, with only breif
hours of the period stopping. I still do
not have cramps or any discomforts of
periods emotionally or physically and the
blood flow is not overly heavy at any
time. What I want to know is it normal to
bleed for this length of time after you go
off the injection? And how long will it
take till the bleeding stops?
I am desperate to know!!! If you have any
info I would greatly appreciate your
thoughts.
Sincerely a concerned women.

I think a lot of women find that to be
side effect after they've stopped having
depo injections. But if you're really
worried, see your doctor. They will be
able to answer your questions for sure!
