A member asked:
Does depo-provera shot causes irregular periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Sorry about the ambiguous answer. You certainly can have breakthrough bleeding with Depo, but it's not really a "period" because your not ovulating with this. So you may have on and off bleeding - it's actually not an unusual side effect of Depo.
