A member asked:

I'm on the depo-provera shot but when i'm sleep i feel the urge that i'm having sex but i'm not and when i wake up its blood, what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please see your MD: Bleeding while on Depo-Provera is common, but needs to be evaluated to assure it is from a benign cause.
