After one shot of Depo-Provera I bleed for 72 days. I was finally put back on Orthro Evra (the new patches). It help keep things under control for about 8 months. The patches are nice because you only have to worry about it once a week. I still had problems with my endo on and off during that time, but it was tolerable. However, as everything else for me I am having to look at other treatment options. I hope you get the info you need to make you feel like you are making the choice that is best for you. If can I help you more email me at syjkmarks@aol.com
