Am I going to stop having my period on the shot?
It’s totally normal to stop having your period on the shot (or have bleeding that comes and goes when you aren’t expecting it). So, as long as you’ve been getting your shots on time, every 3 months, unpredictable bleeding or no bleeding at all is normal when using the shot. If you were more than 2 weeks late getting your last shot, then you might want to take a pregnancy test.
