Since : Since you are on the Depo-Provera shot and have not missed any shots, you have a less than 1% chance of being pregnant. More than likely you are just having a little bleeding as a side effect of the shot. Many women will have irregular spotting while on depo. If you continue to have bleeding or any pain, call your doctor to discuss. Good luck!

You : You are more than likely to be experiencing the most common side effect of depo-provera which is irregular bleeding/spotting. Nothing to worry about. It is very common. If you're really concerned, you could do a home pregnancy test but i would very much be surprised if you are pregnant. Try not to worry. This is the reason that many women don't like the depo-provera method of birth control.
