Safe to get depo shot in 11th week instead of 12th? i started spotting monday, & my next depo is on 7/28. will i spot in 10 week if it was due 11 week

Yes, and can't tell: One can get her Depo-Provera after 11 weeks, and not have to wait for the 12th week. She cannot tell if she will start spotting at the 10th week. She will have to wait and see. If she has never spotted in the 10th week in the past, then she probably won't spot in the 10th week next time. Depo-Provera is usually scheduled for every 3 months (that's 13 weeks, but every 11 or 12 weeks is ok too).
