A member asked:

Can i perhaps get my depo-provera in 10 weeks time instead of 12 wks to see if the bleeding stops..? or would it disrupt the hormones in the body?

1)yes 2)kinda sorta: Yes, you can get your Depo-Provera shot a bit early, but you shouldn't wait until it's past due. Check out http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-info/birth-control/birth-control-shot-depo-provera for more info especially as to how it works by regulating your hormones.
