I had a depo shot in aug 97, I began bleeding shortly after. and continued to bleed until the next shot. my doc reccommended i get 1 more and if the bleeding continued we would stop. well it did continue for a year and a half. i was almost hospitalized because overtime my iron levels began to fall and I am anemic. Another doc put me on an ibuprophen regimin of 800ml a day to counteract whatever it was in the pill making me bleed for so long. It worked!!! but periods were irregular for 2 years.
