I'm 17 and been having a nonstop period for a month, and I've never taken anything to affect it or shots or anything. I'm overweight, but I don't know what's wrong either.

The depo shot is notorious for giving women periods that are extremely irregular or ones that don't stop. Talk to your doctor to see if there's something they could give you to try to regulate it. Some woman's bodies can't handle the estrogen that the shot contains and they need to get on some other form of birth control.
