Wow that would SUCK!

By the way, I did go today to have things examined. The doctor checked my cervix (following my LEEP I wanted to be sure it wasn't a problem) and said my continuous bleeding is most likely due to the Depo Provera shot. She acknowledged it can cause this problem.

She recommended waiting until after January for the shot to be out of my system and see if things return to normal. She did say, "Sometimes they don't on their own". Oh great

My urine and hemoglobin tests came back excellent, so no adverse problems health wise at least.
