A member asked:
Almost 4th shot of depo-provera and started bleeding. was put on viorele to stop it. stopped after 4 days. will stopping the pill start the bleeding again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, a little: The breakthrough bleeding associated with the Depo-Provera shot is related to the thinning of the uterine lining. Additional hormones will help to stop this, but expect a small withdrawal bleed with their stop. This will hopefully then revert back to no bleeding.
