Hi....

I had problems once stopping the DP myself. I did not have a period while on it, which was great. I did not have one for seven months after stopping it, and then, I had one every two weeks! I am still having them every two weeks and it is now just about a year since I started bleeding. I tried Progesterone alone to help regulate my periods, but that did not work. I then tried Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCP's), and that did not work. Dr. Shanahan, one of the docs on the boards, mentioned an endometrial biopsy, which I am now working up the nerve to have done.

If you are having problems, talk to your Dr. If s/he is not listening, find someone that will.

In June I didn't have a period at all. I am sure that this has something to do with the shot. Is there anything I can do to get my perios back on track?
