Heavy painful periods after child birth whilst on depo. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common: Although most women will not have periods at all on Depo-Provera some will have irregular bleeding. If it continues you may consider an alternative method of birth control that can give you better cycle control. If you do not want more children consider essure.
