I had the depo-provera shot a little over 3 months ago and i been on my period the entire time, normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common transition: Breakthrough bleeding is common upon initiating depo-provera. It will usually get better and for many women they'll enjoy lighter periods or none at all in the future. Patience will be rewarded. Also make sure you're not gaining significant weight. Also should have good dairy or calcium intake for your bones.
