This Has Never Happened Before Posted: 09-10-06 13:20pm
Hi, I am 27 and I have 2 children. I have
taken depo twice before and after my last
shot it took 7-8 months for my periods to
come back both times. Well, on april 27 I
got back on the depo shot but I never went
back for my 2nd shot 3 months later
because I started having alot of abdomial
pain, headaches, dizziness and always felt
terrible. Well, around the time I was
supposed to get my 2nd shot I started
feeling better and normal again. Well,
now it's been a little over 4 months since
I took that one depo shot. Yesterday I
noticed pinkish spotting once when I went
to the bathroom. I first assumed it was
period fixing to come on, but I never seen
anything else the rest of the day. Today
when I woke up I had a small amount of
brownish spotting, and haven't seen
nothing else since. I never spotted or
had a period after my 1st depo shot every
time I was taking depo. Everything just
quit from day one. My question is do you
think this spotting has to do with my depo
shot even though i'm no longer taking it
or do you think there's a chance that my
cycle may soon kick in again, or even
could it be implantation bleeding even
though I hadn't yet had any periods yet
since I had that one depo shot? This has
never happened before after stopping depo.
I usually just had a normal period about
7-8 months later.

it could have to do with the depo shot.
It may be your body starting to cycle
again. Or it may be pregnancy. There is
no way any of us could tell.
I will say that just because it has never
happened to you before doesn't mean it
won't happen now. You are aging. Your
body is changing. As we age and grow, so
do our bodies. Throughout our lives our
periods will change as will our entire
cycles.
The depo shot is a major amount of
hormones to introduce into your body, it
seems only normal your body would need
time to adjust.
If you are at all concerned, please see
your doctor.

Okay, well thanks. I'm not concerned
enough to go to the Dr. Yet. Does
anybody else have any opinions about this?

Well the first thing that I could tell you
is take a home pregnancy test. If it is
positive that rules it out. If it is
negative then you know that its not
pregnancy. Then you wait and see if you
period starts. It could be a couple of
things..
