Common: The birth control shot delivers a high dose of the hormone progestin. Progestin is a synthetic version of progesterone, which is a naturally occurring sex hormone in the body. Irregular bleeding is the most common side effect of the birth control shot. For many women, that side effect often goes away over time. If you are bleeding heavily, talk to your doctor about getting some estrogen.
