Hi charley! I have the depot and have been having issues for the past couple of months i seem to only have a day or so where i'm not on. it's really frustrating and would be interested to know if it is because of CD - can't really see it being anything else! i have had a look on the FAQs but there isn't any proper mention of it. Might switch to the pill for a couple of months and see if that stops the problem but the depot has always worked well for me as i really don't like TOTM.

just to let you know hun i've started a thread with this in the main CD forum as it is probably related to the diet so it might get more responses.

Hi girls,

it is very unlikely to be the diet. They should have told you when you got your depot that irregular bleeding can be a side effect. sometimes it can take up to 6 minths to settle down. If it is problematic go back to see you Doctor/Nurse and they can give you some tablets that may stop the bleeding.

This may settle it down but you might find it takes up to 6 months to settle down if you can wait that long. or alternatively a different method of contraception might be the way forward.

Good luck and dont put up with this.xx

thanks for replying. I have been having the depot for about 3 years now and have never really had any issues with it, no bleeding etc. THe reason i thought it may be the diet was because it started when i moved up to the 810 plan, although it may very well have been a coincidence. I had my jab again last week and did discuss it with my nurse and haven't had any issues since so just gonna put it down to 'one of those things' it's nice to know nothings wrong though and it doesn't seem to be the diet that's effecting it.
