I've had 1 birth control shot about 2 months ago and haven't had a period since,3 weeks ago i bled for a week.i just spotted brownish blood.is this ok?

Yes: Savannah, the Depo shot (I assume this is what you got) will throw off your usual menses, as it acts continuously for several months. Some breakthrough bleeding is to be expected. If you develop severe bleeding or pain, call your doctor. Hope this helps!
