A member asked:
Are you suppose to have abdominal cramping & spotting on & off for months on the depo-provera shot ? sometimes it hurts a lot what could be wrong ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding on Depoprovera is highly variable.: There is no normal time for your period on this birth control method. Most have no periods. Some have irregular bleeding. Irregular bleeding can be annoying but it does not mean that the method is not working. This side effect is very typical of Progesterone only birth control methods.
