Question
i just got the shot in september and didnt have a period untill october 14th and my period is still on today (oct 24)it never usually last more than5 days is this normal for the birth control shot?
Hi Melissa..
Is your period over yet? I'm not sure if this is normal to have such a long period. I'm not a medical doctor so please check with your physician about this. Have you had any problems from depo-provera? I've heard a lot of negative things and just wondered. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and I'll see what I can find out.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
