I got my first shot wednesday May 23rd, the first day I started my cycle. Now it is May 26 and I am still bleeding, is this normal? The nurse said it should stop in a couple of days.
I am getting aggravated b/c I got on the shot to possibly not have periods. Thanks

The key word to your statement is "possibly." Not everyone who has the shot administered is going to see complete and immediate cessation of menses. About 50% of all users still have intermittent bleeding for 6-12 months after they start using the shot.
Please give your doctor's office a call on Tuesday (as Monday's a holiday), and ask them what they recommend.

I had spotting throughout my first year of 2 years of depo. I stopped it at the two year mark because I heard it causes infertility and a friend's doctor put her on it to put her into early menopause. The pamphlets say nothing about this. But yes, spotting is normal and it may take months to reach the point of cessation of menses. It did for me.

My wife had this shot 25 years ago. She got cancer one year later, Did we blame the shot? sure did. Please do not use this shot unsafe. This has been said to be unsafe in many country's.
