Getting your period while on the depo-provera shot with cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common: Although most women will not have periods at all on Depo-Provera some will have irregular bleeding. It is not harmful but can be frustrating. If it continues you may consider an alternative method of birth control.
