[Solved] Is this normal? (Previous BC user)
Helllooooooo everybody.
I’m in need of some advice. I, 26 female, was on Depo for 10 years (since I was 15) up until almost 2 years ago. My period returned last January and ever since then, my periods have never been the same or consistent. They range anywhere from 13-32 days, typically anywhere from 4-7 days long. The flow per each cycle is almost never the same. One cycle will be light, with no symptoms at all. The next will be heavy, accompanied by pelvic, back, rib, abdomen, and hip pain with intense pressure which makes me feel stiff while walking. It also triggers my chronic migraines to be worse and I have other symptoms besides these as well.
I don’t go until July to see my OBGYN for my yearly. Would it be worth it to reach out to her and make an appointment to discuss these issues? I saw her last year and did not bring up these issues as I thought that they would go away but they haven’t. I’m not sure if anyone else has also experienced this getting off of depo or if there is something else going on.
