Question

Answer
Yes, I feel that you should go to a doctor. Now I am not a medical professional so I wanted you to know that. If you have been bleeding for a long time, you could develop anemia and suffer the consequences of that. Your health is of the utmost importance.

I'm glad you are not going to have more depo shots. If you want to talk about other birth control options, please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com
In fact, please email me and tell me what happens. I'm concerned and will be thinking about you.
