    Irragular bleeding (depo Provera)
    So I got my 2nd shot of depo in Jan. about a week after my shot I had started bleeding. It hasn't stopped yet and its now almost April. I've been to the doctors numorus times and they keep saying that its normal but bleeding for 3 months? Does anyone know what could be going on. Usually I have regual periods but this just doesn't seem to end and I'm getting very worried I'm only 17 I can't be going through menopause so what else is there

    This can definitely be normal when one first begins the depo shots. It is not uncommon for some women to bleed for several months in the beginning.

    I am glad to see that you are taking an active role in your health, and have asked your provider about this. I will have to agree with him/her that this is common. It should go away shortly, if not, you may want to reconsider the shot as a means of birth control.
