I was just wondering if any other moms have experienced the same thing I’m currently dealing with. And if so can anyone give me any advice. It’s a little tmi.
I gave birth 2 months ago, at 3 weeks postpartum I got the depo shot, I was still bleeding from giving birth, well since then I have still been bleeding. Like it will be mainly spotting, then light bleeding, then back to spotting every single day. I’m constantly having to wear liners or pads because of it. There hadn’t been a day go by that I haven’t been bleeding. I called and talked to the nurse at my obs office and she said as long as I was lnt bleeding too much I am fine. I do have a drs appointment at the end of February for a pap and figured I’d ask about it then too. I’m just so tired of bleeding. I’m not sure if it’s just the birth control or what.
Same thing happened to me, doctor told me it was normal. But I’ll never use depo again, hated it.
I never had a period at all while I was on depo and I my ob never gave it to me til my 6 week post partum check up I was on if for 3 yrs but I somehow managed to get pregnant I think the side effects are different for every woman.
That’s that depo. It will having you bleeding for months. Some people don’t bleed at all in the depo, and others bleed the entire time they are on it. It effects everyone differently.
I bled for 10 weeks straight after having my son because of the depo. Never again.
I dod the same thing with depo. I got it for 2 years and bled the entire time. They say it’s “normal” but it’s really not. I’ve had SO many gyn’s and np’s tell me to NEVER get it. It has terrible side effects. I would look into getting a different bc. I personally love the mirena, which is what I have now. I had one heavy period right after I got it that lasted probably 10 days and haven’t had another one other than very light spotting. Every bc will be different with different people though.
I had spotting for over 2 months after a long break from depo, wasn’t pregnant in that time but was fine before I had the 2nd jab. I think it’s quite common
I was on the depo for 2 years as my doctor told me it will sort it’s self out and kept on reassuring me . 2 years of non stop bleeding. Come off of it and do a pill
I gave birth 11/24 with a c section and I didn’t stop bleeding until the end of December beginning of Jan
I too bled/ spotted constantly from the depo shot when I was on it many years ago. I will never go back on it
My situation was just like that I had a baby March 7 2018 they gave me the depo after I left and then I went to get the birth control in ur arm then I started bleeding for 7 month straight so what they did was give me some pills birth control to stop it that’s what they might do give you some pills
It takes more than just a couple months for your body to get back in check and then you overload it with the shot…I was told with all 3 of my kids to wait to start any kind of birth control until my 6 week check up
Same happened to me. The whole three months I had that shot. It was horrible. My doctor at the time said it was nothing then asked if I wanted the shot when it came to the end of those three months. I said hell no. Now have the skyla IUD. Love it.
don’t do the depo anymore and get a different form of birth control.
They had to put me on Progesterone to stop the bleeding. I bled for three months straight before the got concerned. It was a lot heavier than spotting though. Had 2 shots no issues. Third shot was a nightmare.
Depot has a lot of side effects. Weight gain, uncontrollable bleeding
