    It's been about a million years since I was last on Depo, but from what I recall it takes a long time for your hormones to get back yo normal. Definitely worth a call to your doctors office though.

    I think you should call the doctor just to be on the safe side.

    Doc for sure. Not the least of which will be to check your blood count. We can get anemic like immediately from bleeding like that. Good luck

    Per Web MD:

    "Some general indications of excessive bleeding can include:
    Saturating a maxipad or super tampon every 60-90 minutes for several hours
    Passage of large clots (quarter sized or larger)
    Significant bleeding for more than seven days
    Probably the most important factor would be if your bleeding is heavy enough to interfere with your normal activities."

    I ended up going back on the Depo shot just because my body went so haywire after going off it. :(

    It is the depo shots, your hormones are trying to get regulated and it will probably take a while. Also that shot massively affects your bone health so be very careful and try to find something else. There is a reason it is the #1 method used in 3rd world countries.

    Sounds like your body is adjusting to the shifting hormones. Your weight may fluctuate as well. I'd check in with a doc just to make sure though. Hormonal contraceptives are really tricky.

    I was once on depo, and I don't remember going thru what you are, but I do remember being told that depo can mess with your system pretty bad and I don't think I was on it long enough for that to happen. I would definitely call your doctor, but your body is probably just trying to get realigned.
