Just got off the depo-provera shot.....spotting a lot and feel bloated!what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depo: Depo is Progesterone only shot. Profesterone causes salt and water retention hence the bloated feeling. Similarly, Progesterone causes changes in uterine wall causing spotting. You can control 'bloated' feeling by controlling your salt intake, eating healthy and exercising. I don't know of any effective way of controlling spotting. Ask your gyn.
