Response off depo: Response off Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) varies from woman to woman. Resumption of bleeding is a sign that menstruation may start to re-occur. Restoration of fertility off Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) can range from 6-18 months. Uterine lining is being sloughed off now that Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) has stopped which results in bleeding/spotting. With a normal smear & pelvic exam, your response is typical.

Normal: It is not unusual to have Spotting on Depo. Mention your symptoms to your GYN on your next Well Woman Exam if the spotting continues.
