Depo - Side Effects

I gave been on Depo Provera as requested by my doctors and will be due for my 3rd shot in a few days. I never actually had a side effect of it until now.

A few days ago I have been bleeding. More like your last days of period. I am not a bit concerned as of the moment it only has been 3 days. This is actually the first time I ever had a "period" since I have been getting the shots. They say it is normal to have your period or spotting when you are on Depo. But since it was my first time having my period again I searched online for better understanding.

What concerns me the most is on some women, they never stop. The semi-kind of bleeding lasted them days and even months. I am praying that I am not one of those. As this will dampen any mood of any person. Imagine thinking all the time that you will have blood stain down your crotch!!! Hideous! Embarrassing! I am thinking that because, if normally, and not on depo, these days will be the actual days I will be having my period. Well I guess I just have to wait for 2 more weeks to be able to talk to my health provider about my concern.

Keep me in your prayers. I need them. This cold weather is not also helping my lupus symptoms.

Which reminds me, need to buy lots and lots of juice with Vitamin C to drink and get rid of this cold I have!

I pray you guys have good health, for you and your family for the rest of 2013! HAPPY NEW YEAR! and advance Happy Birthday to me!!!
