OK should I be worried. I stopped bleeding at around 4 weeks. Just over a week later had my period which was fine, had post natal check which was fine, and had the contraceptive injection the same afternoon. that was nearly 2 weeks ago, but last few days been bleeding again - could it be side effect of injection or should I get it checked? x

Could be side effect of the injection. I had it when I was about 18 and stopped bleeding completely. Then I had it again at 22/23 had had very very light bleeding for months!! See how it goes, you may need a course of the pill to get you regulated xx

I was on the injection a bleed for 4 months solid it can take your body up to 9 month to accept the extra hormone your injecting into ypur body. Be sure you keep your doctor informed if your bleeding continues as everyone is different they gave me a tablet called tranzamic acids to take to slow the blood flow down but it doesn't completely stop. You may end up on iron if you bleed to long. Xx
