i have taken the depo shot and have been bleeding for 6 weeks now, i dont know what to do, cant take it. i tried using some of my leftover birth control pills to combat the bleeding but no avail.
Some amount of breakthrough bleeding is expected in women receiving the depo shot. Generally breakthrough bleeding subsides on its own. But 6 weeks is a long time and I would suggest you see your gynaecologist who can do an ultrasonography of the pelvic region to rule out any major cause of bleeding.
Drugs like tranexamic acid and ethamsylate can help stop the bleeding. These are prescription drugs and I would suggest you see your gynaecologist for the same. Dont use your contraceptive pills. They will not be useful.
Thanks

Depo Shot, Bleeding For 6 Weeks
