[Cassie31_7_06]

I had my first shot of depo 8 weeks ago 3 weeks after my son was born I am very sexually active and got my first period on the 28 of April I bled for 10 days Wich I thought was odd cause it was really heavy but now I have missed this month what does that mean could I have Fallon pregnent again

When i was on the depo shot i would get my period for 3 weeks and then i wouldn't get it for a few months, very irregular.

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

It is not unusual for your period to be irregular when starting the Depo shot.  IF you are worried that you could be pregnant, take a home pregnancy test and see what happens.  Since you are already late for your period, you can take a test whenever you are ready.  IF the test is negative, then you can continue with your plan to have the Mirena placed.  IF the test is positive, then you need to see your ob/gyn for an appointment.  good luck and congratulations on your new son.
