Cramping/d/c s/p dep: https://www.healthline.com/health/birth-control/depo-shot-bleeding-how-to-stop-it#outlook Could be withdrawal . less likely cycle return because Depo's effects are longer lasting but that is possible. If sexually active pregnancy is always a possibility . Would check HCG , or even ultrasound . Follow up with Ob if does not improve or severe bleeding > 1 pad every 3 hours.
