abnormally long bleeding during period?

By <name>/u/typical_7652</name><uri>https://old.reddit.com/user/typical_7652</uri>

I’m 20 years old, and in November 2025 I decided to stop taking Depo Provera after 8 years on the shot. The reason was due to shedding of my cervical lining and severe pelvic pain. My periods have been generally normal ever since (usually lasting anywhere from 4 to 7 days) with some mild to severe cramping during, but nothing unbearable. I started my period 12 days ago, and have been consistently bleeding ever since. It is heavy, clumpy, and ranges in color from brown to bright red to almost black depending on the day. It’s accompanied by the usual cramping i’m used to, but I’m also dizzy. I know that Depo Provera affects hormones and that change in hormones can affect how long a period lasts, but I guess i’m just asking if i should be concerned? submitted by /u/typical_7652 [link] [comments]
