I was on depo shot for 9 months and had my last injection 22nd November 2016, I started bleeding again in February 2017 and had a period lasting 10 days, I now seem to have 42 day cycles, bleeding around 9-11 days each time, as anyone else had problems with long periods after coming off depo shot? (before i had depo i hadd 29 day cycles and would bleed 7 days on period)

I've been on the depo for about 10 months now and my periods are still all over the place. The first, I bled for 18 days, second for 14 and third for about 11. I can feel my body getting ready for another now, so am hoping it'll continue the pattern and get shorter. I dread to think about how irregular it's going to be when I come off the depo. I absolutely hate being on it, it completely messes me up. All these artificial hormones make bodies go against the natural cycles, but hopefully with enough time yours will settle back into your natural rhythm xx
