Hi, I think you should take high doses of progesterone to stop the bleeding. Depo provera will not work. You can also take some medicines like Tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Check your thyroid profile and prolactin levels. Hope I have answered your question.
