I'm on the depo-provera to bleed less but sometimes i still bleed like my heavy flow i would normally have , what can i do so i don't ?

Depoprovera: There is not much you can do actually. Depoprovera is a very good contraceptive option for young patients but it has the side effects of bleeding. It works ( one of many thing it does) by removing the tissue inside your uterus and until that happens the bleeding will be unpredictable and sometimes heavy.
