Injection: I assume the injection is Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). What you described may be common with the use of Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). Irregular periods, breakthrough bleeding, etc. You will need to talk to your primary care physician to discuss your other options if this routine bothers you.
