A member asked:

I got the depo-provera shot a month ago and 2 weeks ago started bleeding. its not stopped. is there anything to stop the bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The Progesterone in the depo-provera shot can sometimes thin out the lining of the uterus so much so that the woman has constant bleeding. A cure for this is to take some birth control pills which contain estrogen to help build back the lining a little bit.
