A member asked:
I'm on my first month of the injection for birth control and my period is late, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't worry--common: Irregular, unpredictable bleeding is very common with the shot. Almost everyone has irregular bleeding in the first 3-6 months. At the end of one year, approximately 50% of women who started the shot are no longer having any bleeding--a plus for most women. Be sure you get your shot on time and don't get it late.
