A member asked:

I an on the depo-provera shot and for the last 2 weeks have been spotting but only after i urinate is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone): Yes---spotting on Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is very common. While urinating, blood can run out of the vagina or you might see it on the toilet paper when you wipe.
