A member asked:
When birthcontrol didnt help my period, i got the depo shot on january 6&i've been on my period ever since. is there something wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Frequent irregular bleeding is a common side effect of depo provera, (medroxyprogesterone) but why not provide more information, like your age? It would be more helpful to have more information.
