The depo shot

I actually started back on The depo shot a few months ago. I was on the pill for about a year and a half. I started to have extremely heavy periods after getting off of The depo shot and being put on the pill. They were so bad that I couldn't leave the house, I couldn't even really leave the bedroom. I would walk from the bathroom in our Bedroom to the Livingroom and have to go back to change my tampon agian. I could take 4 motrin and 2 extra strength Midol and it wouldn't cut the pain I was having. Now, a couple of months after my first shot, I'm spotting a few times a week, and never see it coming. I'll go to the bathroom and be bleeding like I started my period, about an hour or so later it's done. Should I be worried? I didn't have this problem the first time I was on the shot.

My experience with depo was exactly like that for almost two years. I went off of it completely as it hasn't been properly researched. I went off, had heavy periods but within a half year basically went to a semi-normal. I still don't know when a peiod will occur thanx to that shot.
