Post-Depo Shot Period: Is Prolonged Bleeding Normal?

Question
I've had my 2nd shot of depo but my problem is that after 4wks of the shot I would have a slight period. My period would last for 9wks until I get my next shot.Now, is this normal to have a prolonged period?My husband & I could not have intercourse because of this.

Answer
Hi Maila,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor and I want to suggest that you consult your own personal physician. But in my opinion, I do not think this sounds normal at all. I can do some more research if you like. Just let me know by emailing me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
Hope to hear from you soon.
