I received my first depo shot in Jan 2007, I received my 2nd in April of 2007, but when I received my 2nd shot I was already pregnant. The doctors only gave me a urine pregnancy test and it was to early for that to show up. I lost the baby in late June of 2007. I started a birth control pill 3 weeks ago and have been on my period ever since. Is this normal?

You body is on hormone overload. It just needs time to adjust.

First your body had the hormones from the shot... the from the pregnancy... then the loss of hormones from the miscarriage... now the added hormones from the pill. That is a lot for the body to take.

I'm sure things will settle down soon once your body gets used to the pill.

For reassurance, most doctors office's have a nurse you can call and speak to over the phone, to ease your mind.
