Were there symptoms to your bleeding in major muscles?
I have tightness in my neck, especially on the right side.
I think it's just a raise in blood pressure, hoping it gets better in the next few weeks.
It feels like anxiety.

Depo - 6 months of period. gave me acne. terrible pain. hated it and stopped it. finally got back to normal when the doctors made me get back on bc for Endo.
Sprintec - started Sept 23rd, 2018. Still on my period, and its approaching 3 months total since then.

When I was on different variations of the pill, my period never stopped :( If anything it became much less predictable (and it was never on a consistent schedule to begin with). I started the depo shot once I knew about my endo, and that only stopped it for a short time. Now it's back with a vengence every 2 or 3 months but for 2 weeks at a time.
