This is graphic, embarrassing and I haven't really talked to my doctor about it because I know whatever happened is really unnecessary now... I was on the shot since August, I never got my period afterwards, I spotted lightly sometimes, but I didn't freak out and read that was really common. Okay, November the day before Thanksgiving I'm at work lifting boxes and I just feel a horribly heavy flow. I had a very humiliating and quick conversation with my boss that I needed to go home and change, she understood and covered for me. But I couldn't go back cause I got home and I swear I've never bled like this in my life, it was so disgusting, it went on for HOURS (yeah it was loads of tissue but I still am not sure if it was a miscarriage or if that would be a possibility). The cramps and back pain ugh were horrible. I contacted my doctor the next day and his receptionist said I was late for the shot by 5 weeks. I thought I was supposed to get it the first of December but it was actually in November and I missed it. I'm not sure at all what happened? My mom thinks I had a miscarriage, but would that be possible? I was only 5 weeks late for my shot. Does the shot make things like this happen to some women? I'm scared what will happen in a few years when I want a kid and get off it if this will happen again? Should I switch? I really don't want to actually set up an expensive appointment and ask so if ANYONE can let me know what the hell that was let me know.
