Irregular period after c-section
I had a c-section delivery on 28th March, then I had bleeding for approx 40 days. On 16th may I got my period that lasted for 5 days, on 6th day i had taken Depo-provera injection on the advice of a gynecologist. Now from 4th june onwards, I am bleeding (I suppose it's period/menses). Today is my 6th day and still I am bleeding moderately, not heavily. All these 6 days the bleeding has been consistent and moderate. Is it normal to have irregular period after taking Depo-provera injection or is it a matter of worry. Please suggest me as I cannot visit hospital due to ongoing covid-19 scare. Also suggest is it harmful to take contraceptive injection in future?

If this injection is causing irregular bleeding to you, you can avoid in future and use alternative method of contraception on advise of your gynecologist
