I have light brown spotting right now, but next depo shot is january 12th? why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer. : Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) is to be used every 3 months for contraception. It's use may result in break though bleeding. This does not change as to when the next injection is due! So if the next injection is due on January 12 th it shd remain so.
