Depo Shot Side Effects & Cycle Changes: What to Expect

Question
I am on the depo shot. I have been on the shot for about 6 months now. At first I was having a period every other month, but now I am bleeding mostly every day for the last 3 months. Is that normal for a person who is on the shot?Also, in December I have decided to not take the shot any longer. I want to start taking a type of birth control pill.Will using a different type of birth control method affect my body? After the shot wears off, how long will it take for my cycle to return back normal?  

Answer

Hi Tieonda,
I'm not a medical doctor so I suggest you check with your personal physician to find out what is recommended for your situation. However, in my research, I have found out many side effects for each method of birth control. I am happy that you have decided to go off depo. You have made a wise decision. The bleeding worries me and I hope you can have a checkup. In my opinion, the birth control pill has dangerous side effects as well. I would say that your cycle should return to somewhat normal within 3-6 months. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more about things.
Thanks.
