I was on depo-provera for about 3 1/2 years an while on it i would spot frequently. Sometimes for months at a time. But i just got off of it, my last shot was supposed to be the first week of march, and my period hasn't stopped. its been going on for like 2 months now. is that normal? when will it stop? Im tired of wearing a pad everyday.

Breakthrough bleeding is not uncommon after coming off of Depo-Provera (learned this from others who have used it) but I agree with the other poster about asking the dr about how long this breakthrough bleeding (because you have stopped the medication) is supposed to last and what they recommend to try and ease this bleeding.
I empathize because I'm going thru issues with breakthrough bleeding as a result of the fact that my bathroom sink ate the pill I was supposed to take two Saturdays ago and my dr told me to double up on my pills.

Depo is awful and dangerous! Yes, you should see your doctor. He/She will most likey put you on the pill to regulate your periods again. It is common to have break through bleeding for months...just not healthy.
