Implantation bleeding, or is it a period? This article will answer your questions about implantation bleeding symptoms, normal colors, what heavy implantation bleeding means, and more. Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), also known as depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and sold under the brand name Depo-Provera among others, is a hormonal medication of the progestin type. Until recently I have suffered from a condition called “menorrhagia.” The symptoms are basically extremely heavy menstrual bleeding accompanied by the passing of tissue, (it looks like a large blood clot, but is actually the lining of the uterus), and sometimes heavy abdominal, back, or leg cramping. I had a uterine ablation over 2 1/2 years ago and it was the best thing that I ever did. I never had a period at all after that until now. I just started bleeding all of a sudden. For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Went to the OB in Oct-2018 for abnormal uterine bleeding. Dec-2018 they prescribe 10mg Provera for 14 days. OB suggested I start 1-1-19 until 1-14(easy to remember) OB said while taking the medication call for any bleeding. Some women report withdrawal symptoms after stopping Depo-Provera, a progesterone-only contraceptive method that is injected quarterly. “You really shouldn’t be doing this,” the ER doctor informs me. As if I have any control over my body and its screwed up menstrual cycles. As if I choose this hormonal fate. I started the depo shot five days after my period on the 23 of July. I have had sex after that and i did use protection. I had sex for the first time since then on the 23 of aug without protection and my bf finished inside me. You might not become pregnant for some time after your last injection of Depo-Provera. Tell your doctor if you wish to become pregnant in the near future. IUDs are very effective, convenient, long acting, and have high satisfaction rates compared to other methods. They don’t require remembering anything (like taking a pill every day) and are safe for people who cannot use birth control containing estrogen.
