My sister had that problem...she eventually just decided to go off of the shot...because she had her period for a YEAR straight,whereas I was on it for 6 years, and did not have a single period...go off of the shot...its apparantly pretty dangerous stuff.

I bled constantly when I was on Depo. I didn't stay on it very long !

I was on it for 5 years! Yes, I bled constantly for 2 or 3 months stiahgt but once I got my second shot I was fine.. never had a period again until recently.

I bled constantly on the shot. I was bleeding for about 2 or 3 months. I almost had to have a blood transfusion because my hemoglobin was lower every time I saw my doctor (which was about once every 2 weeks so he could monitor my bleeding). Luckily, when it was time for my second shot, the bleeding stopped shortly thereafter. I did not get the second shot, I didn't want to risk it. Plus, it killed my sex drive. Yeah, it worked as a birth control, because I wasn't having sex! I wouldn't try it again. Injections are more risky, because it's not like you can rid your body of that contraceptive if you don't like it-you have to wait it out.
