Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone): This is normal, especially if you have been on the Depo shot for a long time. Make sure you practice safe sex during this time until you decide what birth control method you are going to go with. If you haven't done this then make sure you have a pregnancy test donde

Not normal: Bleeding for two months with pain, dizziness, cramping places you at risk for significant anemia and suggests dysfunctional bleeding. You do need immediate medical attention. As you have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, your bleeding is of even greater concern. Please get medical care right away.
