Heavy menses: This is not normal. Report to your treating physician about the change in bleeding and cramps. See about a re-evaluation. Any changes in sex partners?

Diffent dosing : when you stop depo provera, (medroxyprogesterone) your female hormone will take time to restore its natural cycle. Pills will also augment this cycle. Oral contraceptives may include both estrogen and progesterone, sometimes progesterone only. You may need different dosing. heavy menstrual cycle may lead to severe anemia. So you may want to talk to your doctor sooner or later. Take care.
