I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The bleeding may continue until the progestin wears off. This can take up to 11 to 14 weeks after you stop getting the shot. Research suggests all bleeding stops for about 50% of people who use depo-provera continuously for one year. This includes regular monthly bleeding. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
