I gave birth to my son 2 months ago, and after my 6 week checkup i got the depo shot, now i am in harendus pain in my lower abdominal area, and i have been bleeding for almost 2 weeks straight!!!! I just tried having intercoarse and it hurt way to much so i had to stop, and my partner said it felt way to warm inside of me.... could i have been pregnant and the shot caused a misscarage? did i even have a miscarage? help please, i REALY appreciate it.

Could be, but I doubt it.
I would make an appointment for the GYN as soon as possible. If it hurts to have sex and you're bleeding that heavily, there's something that's going wrong and I seriously doubt it's a miscarriage after a depo shot.

I was on the depo shot too right after I had my second daughter. I bled for 7 months!!!!!!! I had a one week break, that was it.The dr's just kept saying its the depo, its the depo. Well I insisted that I have some tests doen to double check, so they did blood work and ultrasounds and found nothing. So I guess it was the depo. I didnt have any pain though, you on teh other hand do, so I would got o the ER immediately, or at least call your dr and I really believe they will tell you go to the ER. OH, and why are you having sex if you are in pain? Thats a red flag right there. Hope everything works out.

A miscarriage is when the baby naturally comes out of your body prematurely. I can't believe by the pain you're in you haven't gone back to the doctor. However, I can tell you that when you have a miscarriage, yes there is incredible abdominal pain, also large, heavy clots come out, with lots of blood and other hormones and liquids. However, a miscarriage does not take two weeks to happen. It usually is a one time purge of the fetus by the body and can last maybe a day. You could be having some kind of adverse reaction to the shot, or it could coincidentally be something else altogether. Please go back to the doctor - the longer you wait, the worse off you could be. Don't be afraid - take care of yourself.
Be well.

When I got on the Depo shot I bled for the 3 months straight and they told me with the next one that it would stop. 6 months and I was still having a period, yes 2 shots and 6 months straight. It could be possible that you have had a miscarriage but don't think about that until you find out for sure. Have a talk with your doctor and see what they think.

A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks, with most miscarriages actually occurring during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Unfortunately, miscarriage is very common, affecting one in eight pregnancies.There is seldom an adequate explanation for why a woman experiences a miscarriage. Studies inform us that approximately 50 per cent of lost pregnancies have failed to develop normally, either due to chromosome or genetic problems or because of structural (bodily) problems. There is no apparent explanation for the remaining 50 per cent of cases.
Certain maternal illnesses are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, although these are very uncommon.
Smoking increases the risk of miscarriage.
There is a gradual increase in the risk of miscarriage as the woman gets older.
It is important to remember that an ordinary lifestyle that includes exercise, going to work, minor falls or taking the Pill before pregnancy does not increase the risk of miscarriage.
What are the symptoms of a miscarriage?
The most common symptom is bleeding from the vagina. Lower abdominal pain is also very common.
Some women have no symptoms at all and the miscarriage is only diagnosed when they are given an ultrasound scan at their antenatal clinic. This is referred to as a 'silent miscarriage', and can be very distressing for the woman and her partner. I hope this helps. bless you.

I doubt that it was a miscarriage. I would say that you do need to call your doctor though. Maybe the depo shot just doesn't agree with you. I know that I have had the same problem with the NuvaRing. I had my period for 3 weeks straight. Do you have fever? That seems like it would explain the warmness and maybe you have some type of infection?

I don't believe it was a miscarriage Hon. Depo injections can cause heavy bleeding in many women. Your discomfort during sex is probably the result of the cramping you're experiencing (also another unfortunate side-effect.) I don't think Depo sounds like the right birth control method for you Hon; you're not reacting very well to it. After your injection wears off, you may wish to discuss other options with your doctor.

Depo has many side effects. You should see a doctor right away.

Maybe you should consult the ER doctors and not random people on Yahoo Answers!

you need to see a doctor... sometimes after you give birth you shed huge bloodclots, and when you do it feels like you are having contractions
