depo and irregular periods

Is it true that the depo shot can make you have a period every two weeks in a month?? Is it also true that it can make you so you can't get pargent after going off of it??

Hi all I wish I had read all the reviews of the depo injection before taking it... I had one depo shot back in Oct 2012 the first two weeks I had no period after that I had a continuous period from Nov 12 to Jan 13 the Docs gave me medication mini pill to temp stop the bleeding but as soon as i came off the medication the bleeding continued... I also for the first time started to pass very large blod clots which looked like liver the size of my hand.  It has caused me to be depressed and has changed my life.  I regret ever taking this injection and wouldnt recommend this for anyone to take it shouldnt be on the Market i am currently on a period which has lasted 9 days so far and now waiting for my scan appt at the hospital as my doctor is concerned.

I'm just on my first shot and have had it for about a month and my period still has came! I know it can make them irregular but i dont feel any symptons coming on and i always get them around 2 weeks before my period! apparently one third dont get any bleeding at all after their first one! But im really really worried! And would like to know if this has happened anyone??
