A member asked:

I started taking the depo birth control shot in may and discontinued it in august. ever since then, ive been having brown breakthrough bleeding almost everyday for the past 3 months. when will this end? will i get my period back? is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: You had those hormones in your system fro May until August suppressing ovulation and your cycle. Now that you are no longer taking those hormones, your body has to readjust. For some women this is a month, for some 6 months. I know it's a bummer not knowing when you are bleeding and when none, but there isn't much you can do at this time.Relax, and if cycle isn't regulating soon, contact OB/GYN
