Call your gyn: Most patients have poorly controlled bleeding for at least 12 weeks on Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). I usually add some short term oral provera (medroxyprogesterone) to slow it down or stop it when heavy. Call your GYN or call your family physician and ask for a referral to GYN.
