I have been in the depo-provera shot 6months. i seem to have light bleeding definetley from the vagina only when i have a bowel movement. is this normal?

Expected with Depo : Depoprovera is one of the most effective forms of birth control as long as you get the shot every 3 months as directed. Irregular or absent periods are an expected side effect.
