No Periods, Headaches, Dizziness After Coming Off Depo. Got Heavy Periods With Only 10 Days Gap. Solution ?
I came off the depo in August last year on my docs advice. I had no,period for 7 months just headaches and dizziness. I finally had what seemed a normal 7 day period, but a week later it started again and lasted 5 weeks. Heavy at some days I couldn't go out. I've had blood tests and waiting a scan but since the5 week period I had a 10 day gap and now bleeding heavy again losing clots. Tired and very depressed

hi.. you were on depo progesterone probably for contraception.. after removal you have heavy period.. it is common to have this problem after stopping the progesterone.. it is withdrawl bleeding... you can try with the combination of mefanamic acid and transexamic acid.. if it doesnot work.. you have to see your gynaecologist for ocps for 1 or 2 cycles that will help.. take multivitamins.. get blood count done, if hb is low take iron supplements, will reduce the weakness... all the very best..
