A member asked:
I took the depo shot and a week next i got my period. the first 4 days was heavy and red then it started getting brown and it's been a total of 15 days on my period. idk if this is normal, when will it stop?

Stay the course: and it should stop within the next 1-2 months. Most commonly it takes 2 months for your body to respond normally to the Depo shot, which should stop all menstrual flow eventually. In the meantime, you should expect continual spotting and such. But for most women the desired effect of no menstruation should be reached in a couple of months.
