I'm not sure. I was on the shot myself (having taken it just once) for three months. I got the shot in November, and never got a second one. I had a few days of very faint spotting, and FELT like I was going to get my period two months after my second shot would have been due. One month after, I got what seemed like a normal, if not light period. Had a week following that of no bleeding at all. Now one week later, I am experiencing very heavy bleeding. If anyone else has experienced this, and it is normal for Depo discontinuation, I would love to hear about it. If anyone has experienced this and sought medical care and it is something to worry about, that would be helpful also.

Absolutley not!! Whether you are spotting or heavily bleeding, 12 weeks ia entirely to long. Go to your doctor and as soon as possible. I have been using depo for two years and I never bleed for more than a week and a half. Your doctor could easliy tell you whether or not your body is rejecting the shot or give you a decent explaination of why you have been bleeding so long. Not to worry though, just make a doctor's appointment asap.

Yes, it is relatively normal to have your period for more than 10 days after stopping the Depo Provera shot. Irregular bleeding is common and it should not last more than a couple of weeks.

Yes. As noted in the patient package insert you got at the time of your injection, irregular bleeding is a common side effect of Depo Provera.

What if you developed amenorrhea after depo and period was induced?

If you induce vaginal bleeding after having Depo-related amenorrhea, you bleed from your vagina. It does not "jump start" your normal period, it doesn't mean you ovulated, and it doesn't get Depo out of your system faster.


Since coming off the depo your period comes for 10 days then you have a few days gap then you start bleeding slightly again for a few days when will they go back to normal?
