A member asked:

I have been on depo-provera for about 2 months now & i have yet to stop bleeding , is there something wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: Unfortunately this is normal. One reason i dont use depot except for very short treatments during breast feeding. Most women will have very light to no bleeding by the 3rd shot. No guarantees tho.
