*** PERIODS while on DEPO??? HELP!!

[terri21]

Has anyone had periods while they are on the DEPO injection?

I had problems with bleeding so was advised to take the pill to stop the bleeding... anyway!

no longer taking pill and i have had my period arrive today :-/ I am confused, does this mean that i am still ovulating and at risk of being pregnant? is the depo still working?? xx

I did! Not regular but sometimes i would get a shock when AF would show xx
ETA it doesnt mean your ovulating or anything

you can still have bleeding on the depot but it's not a true period and it is VERY UNLIKELY you are ovulating
