Hi,
I recently asked a question about information about what to do to get pregnant and such. But, I am having trouble with bleeding, I had the Depo shot as of April 26, 2007; never got the second cause it made me have a period for 2 months. I then had a break
for a week, and since then have been bleeding/spotting, so about two months with maybe about 4 days of no bleeding in the two months.
We want to get pregnant and we can't figure out how to make it stop, and we are having a hard time finding a OB/GYN since we just moved.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or can you help me at all?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk to the doctor asap.
Since it sounds like you only had one shot you have a good chance of getting pregnant. Even if you've been on it for years you can still get pregnant.
This sounds hokey but stop trying to get pregnant. My mom tried and tried to get pregnant and she finally gave up. When she stopped trying, she got pregnant!
Find an OB/GYN real quick.

I had this same problem with the Depo Shot.
I bled for 12 weeks straight then spotted for two months.
All you can do is wait it out unless you want to put MORE hormones into your body. Which I didnt want.
Until your periods are back to normal I'd suggest using condoms, because if you get pregnant now your eggs might be defective from hormones and things(dont know this for sure, but out of worry i'd wait to engage in unprotected sex)
Good luck!

You don't need an ob/gyn just a regular doc. Go see a regular doc and get this taken care of. This is one reason why I never recommend the depo shot as it has toooooooooooo many nasty side effects.

i regret soo much being on the depo shot. it was so harsh on my body.
i had the same problem but i bled ALL the time. The doc gave me estrogen pills to try and stop it but it didnt work.
it had such a negitive side effect that the doctor said it probably will be 6mons untill the depo wears off completetly..
she even told me that depo might make you sterile...

If I were you go back your doctor and ask them about side effect when you had been taking a Depo shot.
