A member asked:

I took depo-provera shot and my period wont stop after 3 months. how can i make it stop?

Wait: Bleeding is a common problem in the first 3-6 months of starting the Depo-Provera shot. Usually it's a matter of waiting it out, and the bleeding will stop. Sometimes your doctor may try hormones to help, but usually it just takes time.
