What Causes Irregular Periods And Bleeding After Each Intercourse?
I was on the depo shot for a little over 2 years. I recently stopped taking the depo 5-6 months ago, I started getting an period 2 months after getting off the depo, I ve tried tracking my ovulation but my periods are so irregular it would be impossible, I would have an heavy period for about 2-3 days then it goes away. Then I would have an light period that would maybe last for a day or a couple hours and then it goes away and so on and so on. lately every time I have intercourse with my boyfriend I bleed just during sex and maybe a little after. I have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 months now and nothing s happen, what can I do get get pregnant

Depo is a progesterone like drug that is medroxyprogesterone , it may cause side effects like irregular bleeding, pregnancy after stopping the shots mostly occur within next3-4 months, in some women it may take upto two years also to conceive . irregular are common with this it will settle down slowly, you can also conceive. normally after stopping shots also it's action remain for minimum 2 months, sometimes it may take time to conceive after this but no need to worry much. within next 1 year everything settle to normal
