A doctor has provided 1 answer

Progesterone effects: Sometimes the depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot can cause bleeding between periods. Maybe it's not the best birth control for you? You can speak with your doctor about adding some estrogen pills (birth control pills) to take that might lessen your bleeding. Or you could consider a different form of birth control all together. This is a common side effect of Progesterone birth control, so don't feel bad.
