A member asked:
Been on the depo shot 2 years, no periods since i started. period shows up today with a vengeance. is this normal?

Yes: Irregular or heavy bleeding may be a side effect of depo-provera. It is most likely to occur just before your next dose is due. If it does not improve, see your doctor to see if there is another cause to the heavy bleeding.
