A member asked:
I have been on depo-provera for over a year. i got light spotting about a week ago and it's been getting heavier. should i worry, or will it stop soon?

Depotprovera: Intermittent spotting while on depotprovera is a known side effect. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell when the spotting will come and how long it will last. If it happens more so towards the end of the twelve weeks, given the subsequent injection earlier can help stop the spotting.
