Had my first depo shot may 2014, I am schedule for my second between August 8th 2014. I hat this form of birth control. Ever since the shot I have had non stop bleeding and this is just a nightmare. I refuse to get the second shot. How long will it take this first shot to leave my system and for my body to return to normal.

Hl, thanks for using healthcare magic

The depo should last no more than 3 to 4 months in your system though it can take some time for your periods to return to normal.

Hormonal contraception can be associated with irregular bleeding in some people.
You would need to choose another form of contraception that better suits you.

I hope this helps
