Okay. I had my daughter 3 months ago. The day I left the hospital I was given the depo. I am still bleeding...I know that the depo can cause women to bleed but should I really be bleeding so long after? This bleeding is not brown, or even pinkish. It is red, so its not looking like it will go away anytime soon. The flow has been constant the entire 3 months. The depo shot I recieved expired [Not sure if thats what you would call it] on the 3rd of this month and I didnt get another.
Im wondering if this is normal...
Have any other women gone through this?

No, definitely NOT normal. I did bleed longer than most women seem to - it was six weeks before it started to not be red any more, then it carried on for a few weeks after that but very little and browner in colour. But 3 months is too long, really. Please get this checked out ASAP as you could be in serious danger.

I have to same problem!!! My daughter is 3mons. and 3 days... And I'm breast feeding. this is my second pregnancy. My first stopped before my 6 week check up. I ask my doc at my 6 week check for my daughter and she said everything looked fine and i should stop soon... but no!!! I have no insurance so i can;t get checked out. But all the research i have found so far is... there might be placenta attached to the uterus and it takes an ultrasound to determine that and the other explanation is some just bleed long than others ... you should be checked either way... I hope all is ok and it stops soon i really really know how frustrating it is HONEST!!!!

I know that breakthrough bleeding can be a side effect of this medication but 3 months is too long to be having this bleeding like this.
Please get in touch with your gynecologist to see what they say because this concerns me a lot.

NOT NORMAL. GO and see the Gynae!! You can lose a lot of blood and become severely anaemic!!
