A member asked:

I been on the depo-provera shot since mid oct and i been spotting for over a month every single day is if normal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Irregular bleeding is the most common side-effect after th first Depo shot. This should be better after the next shot and gone by the 3rd. However, a small % of women do continue to have the spotting and bleeding.Hope this helps.
