?periods I've been on my period or spotting shall I say for around 3 weeks I think!! Im on the depo injection I've had…

I'm on the depo and the first 2 shots gave me irregular bleeding constantly! I'm on my 3rd shot now and haven't bled for the whole time but I'm due to get it done next week and iv noticed spotting like bleeding today.. Might just be the injection xx

I was on it 3 years and had to go every 10 weeks cos of spotting but think I still had it! I can't take the pill I forget ?lol x

I was the same, had the shot every 10/11 weeks to stop me getting a normal period (prior to depo my periods lasted 2 weeks).

Although when I stopped getting it I had a really heavy period constantly for 6 at least 6 months & had to have medication to try to stop it. Eventually it stopped and my periods are now more regular and thankfully only last 1 week, but because of that I'd never go back on it.

But I understand it does work for other people & I didn't have any issues whilst on the depo. Xx

I had my first shot about a week ago, I've also started spotting and the period pain is unreal ?. I was on it before I got pregnant with Quinn, for 3 years never had this problem then I didn't even get a period.

My pains are unreal too and had dodgy tummy too have you? X

I use to be on the implant, but it caused me to have extremely heavy periods. I would literally be on for 4 weeks, then stop for about 3 days, and then have another period for a month. Because of that the nurse gave me the depo shots too, to stop my heavy periods. And it worked! Had no symptoms whatsoever, and my periods were regular and back to their normal cycle. It's a shame, because every woman is different. I would definitely go and see your nurse, like I did. They will work something out. Good luck! X

Yeah shell I have ? xx

I put a post up about this I was bleeding for a month I got the pill to but I normally forget it but I put it in beside my make up witch I use everyday and I have remembered so far been taken it just over a week ain't forgot once sept yesterday but because I didn't go out but took it last night when I remembered as I got cramps so bad xx

I might just go get the pill again and ditch the depo and then get my oh to remind me each day cos I bet he remembers that! Then if he forgets and I end up pregnant it's his fault hahahaha ( I want more babies he doesn't ) xx

Well if this spotting and cramping doesn't ease up, I won't be getting my next shot. I'll also have to go on pill, I'm just worried I'll forget to take it xx

My next one is on 29th this month I'm debating weather to get it or just carry on with the pill do what I do lady's keep it with something you use everyday and hopefully you won't forget it

The pill took a week to work but it's working now and I ain't bleeding finally after 6 -7 weeks of bleeding ? xx

I could carry the pill round in my hand all day and I'd still forget to put it in my mouth haha! Xx

Has the bleeding/spotting eased up yet? I went from spotting to full on period like worse than pp bleeding, just stopped today xx

It was easing off then has gone back to more than just spotting ?

I'm having a full on period now, like really heavy and the period pains is horrendous. Xx

It's takinb the piss!! I'm going back on the pill I think x

Yeah it's a joke I stopped bleeding then woke up this morning and it's rate heavy again never had this problem before. I won't be having my next injection it's not worth it xx

I used the EVRA patch for 3 years before TTC. It's discrete and you only need to change it every 7 days. You can wear back to back so you don't have to have a period if inconvenient and it stays in place despite showers/saunas/gym. I had no side effects unlike the pill. I can never understand why it's not more widely used.
