A member asked:

I missed my depo-provera in march. i've been having unprotected sex but i started my period and its lasted two weeks and counting. what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breakthrough bleed: Having irregular periods for up to 18 months is common. Obviously, unprotected intercourse can lead to pregnancy so always check a pregnancy test. You may need to see your doc and have medical treatment if the bleeding doesnt stop soon.
