I had the Depo after having my son (had 3 injections) but deceided to stop having it to ttc#2.

I have been off it for a year (not including the 3 months that the Dr told me it would take to get out of my system) and have had almost constant bleeding - mainly spotting or a light flow but never no bleeding except the odd day here and there.

I have had a clamydia (sp) test, swabs for infections, an internal, an internal scan and smear tests and everything has come back fine. I cant have the combined pill as my mum has blood clots and the mini pill wouldn't help regulate my periods and have had bad experience with it before so the Dr said there was no point trying that.

Has anyone had a similar experience or can suggesty something that might regulate my cycles? Really want to ttc but can't really with no cycles! :cry:
 
Very sorry, girls. I hope someone on here can share their story. *BUMP*
 
After the depo my cycles at the shortest was 6 days on and then 6 days off and I thought that was bad!!! Again all the doctor could recommend was the pill but I was dead against that.

I started taking Agnus Castus and that seemed to regulate my cycles. Exactly a Year after the depo ran out and I went to 30 day cycles and am currently on my 4th regular cycle so hopefully it'll continue. Its worth a try, it worked for me.
 
yeah iv had 2 lots or norithstrone to help regulate . iv not bled now since new years eve and im so excited lol :) my blood tests come back normal so did stop angus cactus. just on iron now and folic acid i do have a scan on the 16th to double check but iv already a child and no pcos then so fingers crossed.
 
I went through that and I feel your pain..I bled for almost a year straight giving me a week break every month and 2 years later im finally ovulating and regular...Agnus Castus would def do you good I think
 
My best friend is going through the exact same thing! Her doc said it was one of 3 things, pregnancy, a severe reaction to the shot or some matter still in her uterus from her last child birth (he's only 6 months now). She had given birth to her 4th child and was using the shot to be covered until her hubby's vasectomy was shown to be good. So the doc gave her a pregnancy test- it was negative, the he gave her progesterone to take for 4 or 5 days... The he said the bleeding should stop for at least 2 weeks and then she should have a regular period. She is in that 2 week stage right now. She was soooo excited the bleeding finally stopped. He said if the progesterone didn't work they would do an internal ultrasound and possibly have to do a dnc to clean her out.

I hope this info helps you :) at least it may be something to talk to your doc about :)

Good luck!!!!
