Depo-provera ?'s: Depo-provera is progestin, an analog of progesterone, and may interfere with ovulation which can cause estrogen fluctuations, which can cause "light bleeding". If this continues, you should ask your gyn physician about low dose oral bcp's, which may seem like a nuisance to take every day within the same hour, but are effective if taken punctually, and should correct this problem.
