Birth Control/Depo

Question
I got my first Depo shot in January and a second in April. I did not get the next one because i kept constantly bleeding. when i went back to complain they gave me Naproxen, but that didn't stop the bleeding. Its now October and I have been bleeding ever since. In the mornings it is really dark and thick, but only hen i first wake up. the rest of the it is really light and smells like urine. I have a really gut feeling that something is wrong.

Answer
Renee,

In my opinion, that is good that you did not get another depo shot. If you are having bleeding, you need to contact your doctor. That could be dangerous and you really need to get a checkup. Also, if the Naproxen isn't working, you should discontinue that. Whenever you have a gut feeling about your health, or anything actually, always go with that and get a check up. God gives us that feeling to help us take care of ourselves. Well, email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know how you are doing.

Sincerely,
