Had Bleeding For Months. Used Depo. Can I Continue?
Hi. I used depo before which made me bleed non stop for 6 months. I like depo because I don't have to remember to take it everyday and my opinion it really works as far as me not getting pregnant. I want to start depo again but I just don't want to bleed the same. I did some research and it say maca root helps to regulate hormones. Do you think maca root will help with the bleeding cause from depo?

depo provera acts by inhibiting ovulation. it decreasse levels of FSH & LH. Irregular and heavy bleeding due to it can be managed by ethinyl estradiol or conjugated estrogen for 7-21 days or low dose oc for 7-21 days.Maca is a natural herb which suuports natural body estrogen and progesterone. in my opinion, it can be tried for this purpose.
