Hello, guest.

Experiencing prolonged menstrual bleeding after starting a birth control method like the Depo-Provera injection (Depo) can be distressing and uncomfortable. Depo-Provera is a hormonal contraceptive that can cause changes in your menstrual cycle. Some people experience irregular bleeding, especially during the first few months of use. For some, periods may become lighter or stop altogether, while others may experience longer or more frequent periods.

Here are some considerations and steps you might take:

  1. Give It Time: It's not uncommon for menstrual irregularities to occur during the first three to six months of using Depo-Provera. Your body may still be adjusting to the hormonal changes.

  2. Consult Your Doctor: Since you've been experiencing prolonged bleeding and it hasn't stopped even after taking tranexamic acid (which is often prescribed to treat heavy menstrual bleeding), it's important to consult with your healthcare provider. They can assess whether this is a normal side effect of the injection or if there's another underlying cause.

  3. Medical Review: Your doctor may review your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and possibly order some tests to rule out other conditions that can cause prolonged bleeding, such as hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, or other reproductive health issues.

  4. Discuss Alternative Options: If the prolonged bleeding is due to the Depo-Provera and is bothersome, you might discuss with your healthcare provider about switching to a different form of birth control that might be more suitable for you.

  5. Manage Symptoms: In the meantime, focus on maintaining a healthy diet rich in iron to compensate for the blood loss and prevent anemia. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest can also help your body cope with the stress of prolonged bleeding.

  6. Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are important, especially if you continue to experience prolonged bleeding or any other concerning symptoms.

Hope this helps.
