I have had regular periods since I started depo in Oct 09.... I am due for my 4th shot in July and have been bleeding now for over a month.. I am very aniemic so am choosing to discontinue the shot. I started it to help with fibroids and cysts and extreme pain, it work until recently the pain returned, the clots returned and so did the heavy flow.
