Hormonal imbalance: You need to check a pregnancy test. If it is negative then you are bleeding from being in an anovulatory state where there is an imbalance of the two hormones. This can be a residual effect of the depo-provera and your gynecologist can correct it.For more info www.Askyourgynecologist.Org.
