Periods after depo injection

I first started having depo injection in June 2002 with my last being in August 2005.  Since the end of January I have been having a very heavy period every 2 weeks.  My breasts have been very very tender to the point I can't sleep for about a week before my period.  Is this normal?  Should i go to my doctor?

I have been on depo for ten years. It was great for me being a sexually active teenager, not having to worry about forgetting to take a pill. I had no weight gain and immediately stopped having a period. I loved depo! But now i am preparing my body to have a family in the next couple years so i stopped depo about four months ago. Now i have extreme fatigue, sleeping up to 13 hrs a night and still needing a nap after work. I also am having bouts of depression, ill just start weeping, but tje next day im extremely happy and hyper. Im currently taking prenatals to help my body adjust easier (since depo is essientally tricking ur body into thinking its already pregnant).

hi everyone i started the depo shot in july 8 weeks after my son was born ... i only had 2 shots was ment to go for my 3rd in october but wanted to try for another baby.... 4 months later on the 6th of feb i started my period ... quite heavy and alot of pain came along with it, but just as long as a usual period for me but now im worried i was a text book 28 day for my cycle and going by that im now 11 days late for my second period, or 8 days going by the longest cycle, im worried i may have problems.... or if im testing too early .. but the sensitive pregnancy tests "first respose" are showing a faint line indicating i may be pregnant i have took 4 of these and 2 were different types of tests and there all the same but when i try the clearblue or any others there saying neg.... can i really be pregnant this quick? it only took 4 weeks when i got with my partner to fall pregnant with my son could this be the same thing.... im so confused... but hoping were pregnant =D has anyone had the same or similar experience to maybe give me some heads up ? just cant get my head around it all
any advice would be great =) thanks for reading this... sorry to be a pain ....
