Everyone is different sweetie. When I was on it my period disappeared for a year, but I had a girlfriend on it whose lasted the whole year so like I said everyone is different. With the depo periods should be lighter and less frequent. Best of Luck BB

The only advice I can offer u is I was on the depo for 5 yrs every month sometimes e ery 3 months I would get a soft brown period that would last a few days.. Every 3 months I was getting a bleed and my doctor said that instead of getting my injection every 12 weeks to get it every 10 weeksand that would stop the bleeding because the bleeding was the depostarting to wear off.. Mind u a little warning wen I went off the depo uvled non stop heavy clotting for 3 weeks straight :( goodluck with finding the answers ur looking for.. Xx
