Usually after withdrawing from the Depot Progesterone there will be a few days of heavy bleeding in some cases due to decreased oestrogen as well. You can take a Tablet Pause (Tranexamic acid) which will stop the bleeding. The bleeding is usually non-ovulatory and called a withdrawal bleed. Consult your Gynaecologist if the bleeding continues and also get your Haemoglobin levels checked.
