abnormal uterine bleeding
"Had my daughter in September. I bled for 4 weeks after my delivery. At my PP visit my doctor suggested the depo shot. She mentioned I may have some slight break through bleeding. She recommended the shot because she thought ot would be easier then remembering to take a pill daily with a newborn and toddler home. I agreed and didn't do my research especially since I never had any side effects from birth control. A week after taking depo I began to bleed like a light period, sometimes a medium period. That was 3 weeks ago and based on other post I'm gathering this is likely to continue indefinitely until it wears off in January. Honestly it was the worst choice I've made. I should have never taken it."
