A friend of mine asked me to ask a question for her she was having the injection depot provera for nearly 3 years to stop her heavy periods her Dr stopped them and for 15 months she had no periods but the other day she started to bleed it was very very light hardly anythink at all is this her periods coming back or is it somethink to worry about the poor lady is panicking does anyone know what it could be and is this normal and has this happened to anyone else? Please could you tell us Thankyou

Answer 1

yeah  shes probably expericeing irregular periods now.  they will probaby start to come back slowly.. since  shes is no longer on birth control.  

Answer 2

Tell your friend to try not to worry too much.  After being on the depo for 3 years it will take her body a long time to regulate her periods.  I have been on depo for almost 3 months and am not planning on continuing it (because of side effects).  After being on depo for that long, your friend's situation sounds pretty normal.  It might take her quite awhile for her period to come back.  The light bleeding she's experiencing now might be her period starting to come back, or it might just be some spotting.  Either way, she should try not to worry because stressing out will only mess up her period even more.  If she's really worried, she should see her OB/GYN and ask them about it.  Good luck!
