Depo shot...?

I got the depo shot about a month and a half ago and i was on my period for 2 1/2 weeks and still spotting for a week and a half. And ive been having bad cramps even when im not bleeding. is this normal when you just start the depo shot?

Answer:
OMG, I wish I hadnt taken Depo, it really messed me up. Yes it is totally normal for you to be on your period forever and to be spotting forever!! I hated it. I got off of Depo this Jan due to the side effects and I want to start trying 4 a baby (it takes a while after being off). Please get with you doctor and maybe try another form of birth control.
yep, it's from the depo. I've been bleeding for over two months now. I've had every bad side effect that is imanginable on the shot and that's the lest troublesome for me.
The depo shot has a lot of side effects. I didn't have a period for months! It effects everyone differently. Talk to your Gynecologist about it. Be honest - no matter how embarrassed you may be. The shot may not be the best method of birth control for you! There are other conditions, such as endometriosis, that you should consult your gyne about! Take care of yourself. No one else can!
No, this is not normal. I know from experience, but this shot will soon make you gain weight.
