Constant Period

I have been taken the contraception injection (Depo) for around three or 4 years. Once I started taken using this as a contraception I didn’t get regular periods, I would have a small amount of bleeding for about 2 days within 3 months. Although, the last 4 weeks, I have been constantly on my period (lightly). It has gone from brown, to bright red, to brown and bright red again. In these 4 weeks I have had two days of no periods. A month before these 4 weeks I have been tested for STI’s and today I took a pregnant test which has came back negative. Any idea what this could possibly be?
You need to talk to your doctor.
I was on my period for 16 days. it turned out I was having a miscarriage. even with negative tests you can or could have been pregnant.

bleeding for a month is of concern so get checked out.
Go to a GP.
