Swollen breasts, cramps, blood clots, help!?!
Question: I started on depo provera early dec, after that I didn't get a period until 2 weeks ago, but the period hasn't been normal the blood is coming out in clots and is brown / black in color, it's very light as well more like spotting then an actual period, I'm getting bad cramps and there's no sign of it stopping even though I've had it for two weeks. I've also had really sore swollen breasts, they've gotten so big I can't fit into my bras or shirts anymore. Do you think the depo is causing this to happen, should I get off of it, or could it be something else?

I did the SAME THING and actually I asked my doctor and it is very common. I had my period for three straight months when I was on it and then I decided to get off of it and I had my period again (without stopping) for another two months after.
All of your problems (breasts swelling etc) is kind of normal related to all the hormones and the medication in your body.
If anything else starts to happen or you are extra concerned look up the information online and check out all the information.
