A member asked:

I was on the depo-provera shot for 3 years no longer on it i received my period i've since been on my period for 3 weeks. is this normal and when will it stop?

Not sure : If you recently stopped Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) then it is common to have irregular periods for several months. It takes 3-6 months for the cycles to get back to normal. If your periods get long or heavy see your doctor.
