A member asked:
I stopped having the depo injection round 8 months ago an for last three months ive been having periods every other week is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common if spotting: It may take up to six months for the menstrual cycles to return to normal due to the inhibitory effects of he Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone). If the bleeding is more than spotting every two weeks, see a GYN MD for evaluation.
