A member asked:

I've been spotting for 27 days straight and i'm on depo... is there anyway to stop the spotting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: Hard to say without more info that your OB can help with, get examined, may also need blood and urine testing to identify your hormonal balance and lack of pregnant state( it can happen, even on Depo !)
