A member asked:
How long until it is considered "unsafe" if you have vaginal bleeding while on the depo-provera shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One month: In general, one month of hormonal contraception is recommended before the method is considered useful to prevent a pregnancy. During the initial month, a back up method of contraception is advised. Bleeding from depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) following the first two months should be evaluated by your gynecologist.
