I did a search on google to see if anyone has had the same side effects of Depo Provera (also known as the "shot") as I have. I have been having very long, light periods. The blood coming out of me seems to be old as it is almost a purple/dark brown color, and it's not really liquid. It's almost dried up. I know that depo is supposed to take your periods away, but this is my second shot and I have had a period with both. After I got my first shot, I had my period for two weeks so I went to my doctor and told her I was having my period, I was two weeks early for my next shot and she decided to give me another. Is this depo not taking since the second shot immediately took the bleeding away? Or am I just having side effects like I have read about others. I am also on my second Gardasil shot. I know there are lawsuits about it, people are becoming paralyzed and other things like that. Could the depo and Gardasil be intertwining?

Depo is very bad let me tell you from my own experince. I was on depo for 3 years and had a period every 3 months right about the time I was due. When I came off it I had my period for 2 months straight and now I have been TTC for 1 year with no luck. I might have to go on a fertility drug to get my ovulation back. My advice to you is go off depo and get and IUD or get on the pill.

I've met some women that did Depo-Provera and they had very light periods while on the medication. As for the intertwining of the Depo-Provera and Gardisil it's hard to say. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what she says.
