Had depo shot. Heavy bleeding. Tried premarin, vitamins, maca root pills. Not helping. Switch to pills, stop bleeding?
Patient: Hi, I have only used the depo shot two time. My first time was nov15 2012 and for the first three months i really didnt bleed. my second shot was jan 31 2013 and a month after that about march 8 i was spotting and now apr 23 it is heavy bleeding and no signs of stopping. i tried premarin for 3 days and slowed down but started back. I also take vietamins and maca root pills.I suposed to have gotten a shot on apr 18 but decided to do birth control pills to help with the bleeding. Will this stop all of this bleeding? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for the query. Yes, birth control pills can help in stopping the bleeding.  Better to take two pills a day with your doctor's advice to stop the bleeding. Along with the pills you go for anti-fibinolytics initially.  Once the bleeding stops you can continue one tablet a day for the purpose of contraception.
