Why do you have a period when you take Depo-Provera?

Answer 1

Irregular, heavy, or no bleeding are common side effects of using Depo Provera. After a year of use, most women stop having periods all together. BEST ANSWER : Bleeding is common! Regular spotting or light bleeding for weeks is typical for women using this drug. Not that it is HEALTHY--it is NOT. It is not normal for a female body to function the way it does on this drug. : : How long does it take to get it out of your system?? My best friend got the shot a few times and SEVEN years later of trying to conceive is unsuccessful. : YES YOU CAN BECOME STERILE. : AND, you can loose your bone density, increase your chances of cervical cancer, migraines, ectopic pregnancy, and anemia. I recommend reviewing all sides of a drug like this before taking it, not just the information offered by the Doctor Who will forget your name when you leave the office, or may have personal bias regarding general population trends. : This is not a safe drug in my opinion.

Answer 2

I've been on depo for a year and haven't had a period! Every once in a while you will get a little blood, and you will get discharge.

Honestly, i got discharge so bad i thought i had a disease but it's just your body reacting with you not having any periods! So nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

All women using Depo Provera have changes in their bleeding. With Depo Provera, you are not having a real period (which is ovulation followed by shedding of the thickened uterine lining). It is very common with Depo Provera to not have your period. It is extremely unusual for a woman to have regular monthly bleeding on Depo Provera.
