Hello friends! I hope this will help other people who maybe suffering the same as my condition and to let those who care about me what had happenend recently.
I had depo shot in October and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in November 2007. Depo is not advisable for those with thyroid problems so I was not given a follow up shot when my depo contraceptive injection expired in January. I had my bleeding in the onstart of January and continued to have it till March so I have to see my OB. She said it maybe due to hormonal imbalances because of the depo shot and the medicines I am taking for my thyroid. She gave me a low-dose contraceptive pill "Althea" and the bleeding stops in just a few days after taking it. Thank God I am really so relieved. Thanks for all your prayers and concern.

Happy to hear you got everything straightened out! I have been on the depo shot for about 8 years now I have never had any problmes with it I dont' get my period which I love! The doctor should have known not to give the depo shot with certain conditions but I am glad you are ok now.
