I've had my period for over a month!! Help

I have been on the depo shot a little over 2 years now and everything is was going great, but now i have had my period for over 45 days. It has been very heavy and I'm really starting to worry. Some other symptoms are I always have to pee my breasts are very tender, and i get frequent headaches. I also head the depo can cause long term infertility is this true? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rizarita, Depo is a pain! Some people do believe Depo can cause infertility, however there is no evidence to support this, and infact if you ask any health practitioner they will tell you that Depo doesnt cause infertility. It can however take a loooong time for your periods to get back to normal. I have the same symptoms as you, but mine occured after stopping Depo. I would suggested going to see you doctor who can help.

This happened to my sister after she was on depo for ~5 years.
I suggest going to see a gynecologist who will help you decide what the next step is for you.
My sister had to stop depo, but she still bleeds nearly non-stop.
