How Long Will It Take For Periods To Regularise While On Depo Provera?
Hello, I had been taking the depo-provera shot since 2008. My last shot was given in September last year, so my next one was due in November, but I didn t get it. My period finally came back on the 12th of this month, but it ended a few days ago and i am now bleeding again. Is this normal? or how long is it supposed to take to get back to the regular once a month visit? I don t feel like this is normal...

Hi,
Irregular bleeding are common with depo Provera (absent, more frequent, scanty or profuse). It is prevalent in early stages and settles down in few months after staring.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
