Yes: You can change your contraception or add birth control pills.  Weight gain is a common side effect of Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone).  Consider an IUD if these symptoms are bothering you.

Question 4

hi there. i've just started my fourth month of visanne. i've had a combination of light and heavy spotting for the last month. is this normal and when should my body regulate to the medication? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Visanne: The is an estrogen.  It is used often to treat endometriosis. It works by reducing the endometrial lining of the uterus. This works over time. In one study, after 24 weeks of therapy 67% of people on the medication improved there pain scores versus 26% of those on placebo. Given you have only been on medication for 4 months this is expected. If persistent heavy bleeding let your provider know.

Question 5

i had a brighted ovum, took medication 3 weeks back but i am still spotting, what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

May not: have completely passed the tissue from the blighted ovum. Your doctor can run as HCG level, and sonogram to be sure.

Question 6

switched cocs, now on mid 3rd pack. normal to still be spotting til now (starts midcycle usually)? pills always on time, taking no other medication.

Accepted Answer

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time)  is very normal on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time.  If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen  then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.

Question 7

Question 9

i a virgin and began spotting a month ago. i am 25 and have had my period since the age of 9. i am no medication. my period started again a week early

Accepted Answer

Breakthrough bleed: Sounds like breakthrough bleeding which occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. Brown  is simply  old blood that has been sitting at the back of the vagina. Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss cycle regulating birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous.
