I had 2 shots of depo-provera. Then I was on the pill for 4 months.  The last
month I had migraine headaches almost everyday.  So I was put back on the depo
shot.  I had 1 shot then my husband and I decided that we wanted to try and have
another child.  However, since I have stopped taking the depo shot I have had my
period almost none stop for 5 and 1/2 months.  I stop bleeding for 1 to 3 days
but then I start back again.  It isn't spotting it is heavy bleeding most of the
time.  I am tired alot of the time.  I went to the doctor and she said that it was normal for women who have
been on the shot to bleed of and on.  She said that eventually I would get my
regular period back.  Is there anything else I can do to help my period return to
normal?  Should I get checked for iron-defeciant anemia?
