Probably side effect: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) use can lead to this side effect. Over time the uterine lining becomes so atrophic (thinned). That it results in some break through bleeding.Consult your physician to evaluate and determine best treatment.

Consider OCPs.: Depo-provera is a synthetic, long-acting progestin, designed to strongly interfere with the physiology of the normal menstrual cycle. After one year of use 55% of women stop bleeding, 68% after 2 years. Irregular or unpredictable bleeding or spotting is usual, due to the important thinning of the endometrium (uterine lining). If you wish to have periods, you may switch to a birth control pill.
