Having Irregular Periods, Periods With Heavy Bleeding, Blood Clots Seen. Anything Wrong?
Hi, I have had my period since I was 12. They have always been regular. I am now 17 years old. I was on the depo shot for three months and then got off of it 6 months ago. I was expecting my period in December. However it was a month late. Now i have been on my period for three weeks and I have blood clots and heavy bleeding . The blod clots are not quarter size but they are fairly large. Could anything be wrong with me or is this normal?

Hi dear,
Irregular bleeding is common wit Inj Depoprovera. This occurs for few months after inj withdrawal and settles in few months.. So, the bleeding which you are experiencing may just a result of te withdrawl. However, since you are of the injection for 6 months, if sexually active, pregnancy has to be ruled out.
