I have been bleeding for 3 months after giving birth nonstop. it is light but i want to know if its normal. i'm also on the depo.

Not really normal: If patients of mine are still bleeding after about 6-7 weeks, then i usually do an ultrasound to see if there's something wrong. There isn't always a problem to be found, but it's nice to know that for sure. Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) does cause irregular bleeding too, especially if you are not breastfeeding. In any case, i'd look into it further.
