Ok so ive been on my period for about a month now- my problem is im on this shot called depro provera its a birth control shot that makes your period barely ever come, and i havent had one in about 6 months. Well i am sexually active with my boyfriend of 9 months. Recently when we have sex i bleed, and now it just stays like that, and its hurt the hole time when were having sex and doesnt even feel good. What should i do? I have an appointment with the gyno soon, but what do you think could be wrong with me??

One of the side effects of these birth control shots, that they conveniently forget to tell you, is that when you do have your period, it will be longer, and a heavier flow than usual.My best guess it because your body still needs to get rid of the same amount of blood as it would if you had your period each month, its getting rid of it now.
But please do talk to your doctor, just in case it could be a very serious and dangerous thing

Is this excessive bleeding, or is it light bleeding? If it's excessive and constant, I would maybe go so far as to consider the emergency room or a walk-in clinic (we have them in Canada I don't know if you have them where you're from). Is there any way you can get your gyno appointment sooner? You certainly need the issue dealt with as soon as possible.

if it happens when you have sex with you boyfriend, i suggest you stop it. atleast wait until you see the gyno and tell them that if happens when you have sex with your boyfriend and include all the information that you did in your question. maybe your gyno will tell you that you can or can continue to have sex and answer your questions for you.
and look up on google on the information of the birth control pill. that might be doing something. not sure tho.
hope i helpedd. [ divatothemax01's advice column | Ask divatothemax01 A Question ]

Ask your gyno.
We are not doctors. It would be wrong of us to speculate.
In the mean time, drinks lots of liquid. Constant blood loss can cause dehydration. You'll feel better if you stay hydrated. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
