I was on depo for eighteen months but had my last one last April. Throughout using them I had no periods at all.
I only started my periods again 3months ago but am pretty much constantly bleeding.
I have "proper" periods but then a constant light spotting/smudging inbetween.
I am also having period ache nearly every day/every other day.
I am getting lots of headaches too but I dont know if this is to do with periods...and indegestion too which I never had when I had periods before.
So, I want to kno if this is normal after being on depo?Is it normal whilst my body is adjusting to getting used to menstruating again?
Also,I'm due a smear test but I havent been for one because it says not to when you are having your period.
I'm feeling tired and miserable too.

Get it checked by the GP. It's probably nothing important but get that smear done next week.
