A member asked:
I think my depo-provera shot is finally getting out of my system, is it normal to bleed every other day? for just a few hours? (only received 1 shot in march)

Depo inj: One of the possible side effects of the Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) injection can be abnormal bleeding. Since the injection last 90days it should be out of your system already. Check in with your doctor to discuss regarding your daily bleeding. Also since you are bleeding daily make sure you are adding iron to your diet so you decrease the risks of anemia.
