A member asked:
I know depo-provera shot is irreversible. but can normal birth control pills be resumed even if the shot was done recently? perhaps to offset side effects?

Bleeding? : Is bleeding the problem? If so it can be hard to treat when someone is on depo-provera. Birth-control pills will likely not help. Lysteda is a good medication that sometimes works. Estrogen supplementation sometimes works. Time and patience works best.
