Hi, I ve been on the depo provera shot for over a year now and within that time I ve almost constantly had a light period. Sometimes it s heavier and rarely will there be no blood at all. After bleeding for a year straight, I want to know if there are any options to help stop the bleeding? My doctor said to wait it out and discuss other options if I really got fed up. I had my period for prolonged amounts of time before the shot so I was kind of used to it. He previously prescribed a estrogen pill to help the bleeding stop but it didn t seem to do much and once I was out it was back to the same. I ve heard Tranexamic acid may help? I don t want to use the pill and am semi-open to an IUD, the pain of insertion is the only thing holding me back.
