Not your period: Irregular bleeding or continuous spotting is a known side effect of Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) injection, it should stop and you should resume your regular period in near future . If you keep on spotting or bleeding , please have an ultrasound done to rule out a polyp or fibroid.
