A member asked:

Hi basically i am on depo and i still menstruate but now my concern is this i dont stop i am always perioding even after. what could be wrong with me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depo-progesterone: Depo-progesterone is not 100% protective against pregnancy. Depo may cause irregular bleeding, so ask your gyn physician for another form of secure birth control. If pregnancy is possible, get a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy, and see your physician immediately if positive.
