Somethings wrong with my period, what could it be?

Question: Okay, before you read, let me tell you that i will go into detail so that i can let you know what is going on. DONT read if you dont want to hear.. Here's the story. I have been on and off the Depo Shot for about 3 years now. Everything has been fine. But, about 3 months ago, my period went crazy on me. I have extremely heavy, prolonged bleeding. I went to the ER because the bleeding was so heavy.They told me it was just 'breakthrough' bleeding caused by the Depo Shot. I guess that could be it, but why would it just now happen after almost 3 years? Anyways, i went home and rested like they told me too. But, for the last month, the bleeding has gotten worse. Its so heavy that it goes throught a tampon & pad in less than 1 hour sometimes. I have been passing clots everytime i bleed, some are really big. I constantly have cramps/back pain. Sometimes, the bleeding will completely stop for a few hours.Let me add more details before i run outta room....

Answers:
I used to have periods that heavy every month, so it might not just be because of the shot. You definitely need to talk to a doctor - not ER - about this issue. There might be some tests needed. Good luck.
