A member asked:
I am on the depo shot and i have been bleeding for about a week and i am also lactating....does that usually happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: these are possible side effects of the Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) injection. The lactation is less common and you should get a GYN exam and a serum prolactin level. Most like all are related to the injection.
