Hallow,
I have gone through your nicely narrated history. I could appreciate your concern.
In fact, as you had rightly expected, after discontinuing depo pill, you should have got your menses after about a week or so. You did not get menses for next three months.
Were you on depo Provera? How long were you taking this medicine? Was the indication excessive bleeding during menses? They are
progesterone preparations and act as
contraceptive also. The bleeding after Progesterone preparation goes on diminishing. May be due to its prolonged effect you could have landed into loss of menses.
In October, you have started bleeding again which according to you is darkish bleeding. Dark bleeding suggests that the blood could have been retained in the uterus for a longer time before it escaped the
uterine cavity. This may be due to :
1. Late onset of withdrawal bleeding of Progesterone withdrawal.
2.
Pregnancy related bleeding.
I would suggest you to get
ultrasonography done which will reveal whether there is any evidence of pregnancy. Low hCG levels in the presence of pregnancy suggest
implantation some where outside the uterine cavity (ectopic pregnancy), commonly in the tube. Such pregnancy usually ruptures causing alarming intraabdominla bleeding. However such bleeding is always associated with excruciating pain.
If the bleeding is not related to the pregnancy and is just delayed withdrawal bleeding, nothing need be done. Probably instead of having only progesterone preparation, if you take combined pills (Oestrogen + Progesterone) or sequential pills (Oestrogen followed by
Progestrone), the lining of the uterus will grow again to normalcy and you will start getting normal regular menses. You might have to take such pills for three months minimum. Once the cycle and bleeding is regularized, you may discontinue them if you want to attempt pregnancy.
Please report to your Gynaecologist with the ultrasonography report to decide on the final diagnosis and management.
