A member asked:
Is it ok to assume i won't be pregnant for a while? i've been off depo-provera gor 4 months and been bleeding every week ..light brown ish red blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Even though it takes about 6 to 8months to get the medication out of the system, There are stories of women who have gotten pregnant within those few months. If you are not trying to have a baby,you may want to see your doctor about putting you on some oral medications to also regulate your period so you are not bleeding every week
