What are the symptoms of bleeding got about 4 months? It is still happening. It was a month before my depo and since my depo it hasn t stopped. Can this be pcos or something to do with my ovaries? I m worried about conceiving in the future. My stomach hurts and cramps all the time and I m worried. What could this be possibly? And what do I tell my doctor to check for?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
in my opinion,
Doctors consider normal menstrual bleeding a period that lasts from three to seven days; prolonged menstrual bleeding, or menorrhagia, is defined as bleeding that goes beyond a week. Depending on the circumstances, long menstruation may be a condition that can be easily controlled with birth control hormones or one that indicates a serious underlying health issue.

possible causes :
DUB
Uterine fibroids, non-cancerous growths of the uterus wall
Endometrial hyperplasia, a thickened endometrium
A bleeding disorder, like von Willebrand disease
Problems with clotting
Thyroid functioning
Glandular issues
Infection
Ovarian cysts
Uterine polyps

you should consult gynaecologist and give proper history of bleeding like duration , changing cloths per day , pain etc
