What Causes Heavy Bleeding With Clots After Having Depo Shot?
I have stop taking the depo shot for about 6 months now. I have already had two fairly normal periods. However after this past one I began bleeding again a week after. It's been fairly heavy bleeding with heavy blood clots. It seems to be on and off as it will disappear for a day and then resume. Should I be worried?!

Hello,
It could possibly be due to stopping depo shots and eventually subside. However, take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
Hope this answers your query
