A member asked:
Is it normal to have bleeding every now and then while on depo vera? the bleeding is little but mixed with discharge. is that normal?

Irregular bleeding: with Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is a known common side effect. If it becomes severe and constant it should be evaluated. If sounds like the small amount of bleeding you are having is nothing to worry about.

Yes: It's common to have bleeding now and then, especially during the first 6 months on Depo Provera, (medroxyprogesterone) and sometimes after that.
