Medroxyprogesterone
abnormal uterine bleeding
"I started depo in April of 2015 because of extremely painful periods. At first it was great, I had no period the month following, but then in June I started spotting, it wasn't a full blown period but it lasted for nearly 3 weeks. Then came the next shot in July; no period for a month & then spotting for 2 weeks. Then the October shot; same thing except I started spotting early January which lasted up until I was due for my next shot. I'm wanting to switch to the pill. It was great for lessening cramps, but terrible for the ongoing bleeding. My acne got worse, I didn't become depressed, I didn't gain weight, but I've been the same weight for 4 years, sex drive may have lessened, & I'm not pregnant."
