Is there any way to lessen spotting/breakthrough bleeding while on depo?

Question

I've only gotten one shot and I know breakthrough bleeding is normal and expected but.. it's been going on for a month and a half with no sign of stopping and its driving me crazy! Anything to help it go away, or am i stuck?
Also... anyone know if it is normal for the bleeding to intensify after or during intercourse?

Answer 1

One thing you can do to ease this breakthrough bleeding is to eat more things with iron in it like spinach, raisins, and peanut butter (if not allergic to peanuts of course).

It can take about a month or two for it to stop but I would recommend getting in touch with your doctor as well to see what they say.
