I received my first depot shot august 26 ,2020 i missed my depot shot this month by 4 days and now im bleeding heavy what does that mean?

Every 3 months: Depoprovera injections are given every three months to provide adequate birth control. Some have no periods. Others have irregular bleeding and spotting. Since you are past due, you will need to get another one to have reliable contraception. If you do not like and want to try something different consider scheduling a visit.
