DMPA at a dose of 150mg was injected and for 90 days thereafter, the bleeding pattern was determined and classified. In addition, the role of BMI in this regard was determined.

Results: Out of 50 studied cases at an age range of 18-45 years, 20 cases showed bleeding itself or its signs. For the latter, it occurred for one time in 35% of them, for 2 times in 35% of them and for 3-6 times in 35% of cases. The average days of bleeding for all them were 41.8±26.6 days. It is also evident that BMI can not affect the vaginal bleeding.
