A member asked:

Took depo shot twice stopped taking it in march got a period in may its like my periods are heavy sometimes and light, is it normal to get 2 periods month after stopping that shot. i bleed for a week it stops for week then comes back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding more than once after stopping "depo shots" may reflect endometrial shedding not related to ovulation. If you are not pursuing pregnancy at this time, a switch to oral bcp's may be appropriate. Your menstrual functions will usually resume to that experienced prior to using depo shots for contraception.
