Irregular Bleeding on Depo Provera Shot
I've been on the depo shot for 3 years and haven't had a period pretty much since I've started, but all of a sudden im having irregular heavy bleeding for a day or so then it'll stop for a day and start back. In having really bad cramps the whole time I'm bleeding. I haven't bled in years. My family does have history of ovarian cysts and fibroids.
