See Dr ASAP: Please see your clinician asap. 1. Prolonged bleeding can lead to anemia (low blood count); 2. Since >13wks from last Depo shot, you are at high risk for unintended pregnancy. Your clinician can evaluate the potential causes for your persistent bleeding - Depo can remain in your system for up to 18 months, even after only one shot. - then prescribe appropriate treatment to stop your bleeding.
