Depo "on the spot": This is a normal consequence in the use of Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) as a contraceptive, and "on the spot".

Sometimes depo can: Make u spot for my pts i always do an exam and ultrasound to make sure there is not another cause, please call your gyn as your gyn can get u on some additional low dose hormones to stop the spotting or if it doesn't stop then u will need a new method.
