Switch methods: Irregular bleeding is one of the side effects of Depoprovera. Another method would probably fix the problem. At 42 you may want to consider the permanent and hormone free method of Essure. You could also consider a Progesterone IUD like Mirena (levonorgestrel) which would likely eliminate your period

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone)?: You don't specify what your injection is, but if it is Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) this is a common occurrence and not easily remedied by artificial means. If this was your first injection of 3 months, then the 2nd injection might improve the situation as your body and pituitary becomes more accustomed to the medication.
