What Causes Heavy Period While On Depo Shot?
I was put on the depo shot in January to stop my periods because of ovarian cyst pain. I was told by the doctor that it should stop my period for three months and to come back for another shot in April. I haven't had my period for the two months of being on it, however, it came heavily this month. Is that normal?

Hi,
When you are on Depo shot you may see spotting/bleeding or prolonged bleeding during the initial 1-3 moths. It may vary from women to women but its normal, just get connected to your treating gynae for the next shot. In the mean time take food rich in iron, calcium & protein, keep yourself well hydrated, stay away from addictions & do regular exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
