Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I got my very first Depo shot in May and got my period on schedule in June, except it lasted for 2 weeks. Two weeks after it ended I got my period again (July 5th) and have been on it for the past 7 weeks, going on 8. I&#039;m waiting for it to bleed out but it recently got heavier. I&#039;ve called around to different offices and they&#039;ve said the same thing: that I should just get another shot, and that irregular bleeding is normal for the first 6 months. I was having debilitating cramps in June, which I&#039;m pretty sure is linked to the shot because I&#039;ve never felt that pain before. Other than that, I haven&#039;t had cramps at all. I did notice that I am extremely angry on this birth control, and I started breaking out on my cheeks."
