Common: Spotting and irregular cycles are extremely common with Depo-Provera provera, (medroxyprogesterone) "the shot". It can last for several months. It is rarely ever of any significant concern. You may use additional medication such as low-dose estrogen pills to attempt to remove the bleeding. But these are unnecessary. It should go away on its own.
