Probably normal: Irregular bleeding is common after starting Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) and, for most people stops if you continue the Depo and periods stop completely. A small percentage of women never stop bleeding and some stop having periods immediately. There is no way to know in advance which group you will fall into. Hope this helps.
