A member asked:
Can being on the merena stop your bleedng. from being on the depo-provera shot? fr
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES!: Any alteration or change in your estrogen-progesterone balance can alter your menstrual cycle. Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud and Depo-Provera shots introduce extraneous hormones into your body's normal balance and will most definitely affect your normal menstrual pattern.
