A member asked:
I was given a depo shot after giving birth in january. i have been on periods since. they stopped for few weeks n started again?

Depo responses: Depo provera injections are notorious for producing irregular spotting during the time of its' effectiveness, which in this case is three months. If you have not had another injection, then the bleeding should have arrested by now. Contact your OBGYN MD for further evaluation if you are no longer on the Depo as there may be "leftover" products of conception still present.
