A member asked:
I took depo-provera 3 months ago and keep bleeding heavy ever since, is there a way to stop it or slow it down?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Depo-provera deposits a form of Progesterone in the body which lasts for about 4 months. One of the side effect is unpredictable and heavy periods. It usually gets better over time to even lead to no menses over time, but discuss with your OB when you go for your next shot in a month.
