Normal: The Depo-Provera shot will give all sorts of irregular bleeding. It's variable from person to person.

Probably OK: Occasional irregular bleeding when starting Depo-Provera is very common and is generally not worrisome. Now that the bleeding has stopped, hopefully you will appreciate not having periods for a while.
