Hi i took the depo shot about 5 months ago and i havent taken a second one. I have been spotting since until now. I am currrently taking birth control for over two months now but i am still spotting. I am 23, 135 ponuds if that helps. The pill that am currently taking is called marvelon. As of next week i will be starting the third pack. please advise on how i could stop spotting immediately as i have a sceduled vacation in less than a month.
Hi, Thanks for consulting us.First have a pelvic ultrasound & preferably pelvic examination by a Gynecologist to rule out any local cause of this spotting. Also have a pap smear test if not done already. If both are normal you may request your doctor to prescribe you a higher dose pill or an additional progesterone containing pill. These two are likely to resolve your problem. Usually, this spotting disappears after first few months of pill usage. You may just wait & see if it is tolerable for you. Hope you get well soon. Take care.
