depo injection

Hi my name is Kerry and I joined the site tonight. I have just come off of the depo injection and although I am getting serious period cramps I have not come on. I have light spotting twice in the last couple of weeks but nothing more. None of my friends have been on the injection so I have no one else to ask,is this normal. While i was on the injection I had a period every month so I thought when I came off of it things would get back to normal quickly. I was on the injection for 3.5years and none of the side effects were explained to me properly. Help!:\?

  • hi, i'm not sure how long it would take for you to conceive, but i thought it took a while on some people for periods to become normal, i only had it the one time so can't really say, but a friend of mine had it for a while but she never came of it. sorry i'm not much help am i!!!
    good luck
