A member asked:

Can i take estrogen pills to stop spotting while on the depo-provera shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Estrogen is sometimes prescribed for breakthrough bleeding while on Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone). It does not affect the ability of Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) to prevent pregnancy.
