HI,
I have read your query & understood your query.
The causes for your prolonged bleeding can be-
- sudden withdrawal of the shot ( having high hormone content )..lead to a hormonal imbalance & bleeding.
- Stoppage of bleeding after sex seems to be a co incidence
* in case the bleeding recurs, you should consult a gynecologist , get investigated to find cause of the problem & get treatment accordingly.
Thanks.
