Abnormal period, constant bleeding

[beerbaby]

I was on Depo provera injection for over 2 years, recently came off that and went onto the Cerazette Pill. Have stopeed taking that following extreme headaches. Went 7 weeks with no period but have now been bleeding for over 4 weeks.
Is this normal? I get the occasional day when the bleeding is light and I think it's going to end, then the next day I've got cramps and it feels like the start of a new period.
Please help!

Your body is most likely getting used to the new hormones, or the new pattern of the hormones. I bled for an entire year straight when first getting on implanon (birthcontrol implant) . It took my body exactly a year to get used to the hormones, and now my periods are more or less regulated. If you contact the birthcontrol people or your dr. they will more than likely tell you its normal, but its better to be safe than sorry.

It is not normal to bleed for over 4 weeks. I suggest that you see your gynecologist for an examination and possible hormone blood test, ultrasound and biopsy depending on your age. They can also give you medication that can control the bleeding if the workup is all normal.
