Would go back to basics and try the pill again qid (ovral or lo-ovral) until bleeding stops then bid for a cycle. If intractable then I would use the higher doses of depo-provera. ie 300 IM then 150 to 300 monthly.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
