Are Cramps In Abdomen And Spotting Considered Normal While On Depo?

Hi i was on depo for two years. The say i got on depo my period completely stopped. I spotted a little each month but hardly. Got off of it for 5-7months and decided to get back on nov. 18. Mon. Dec.16 i started spotting wed i started having light cramps and still spotting but a lil heavier. The next two day my cramps are worse when i move they hurt to were i need to take some meds.and also im bleeding more as if im having a period. Sat. They arent so bad but they still hurt. Could it be my body reacting different from the depo? Are these just regular period signs? Ive never cramped this bad and i never bleed on the depo before?

HI,
You had taken a gap of 5-7 months while taking depo preparaton for contraception & have started bleeding and cramps after one month- which is unusual.
Two things are possible-
- It's menstrual irregularity after restarting the dose after a gap.
- During the gap you had conceived,started depo preparation while pregnant & started bleeding ( thretened abortion)-
The position can be judged by a physical examination by a Gynecologist/
Pelvic sonography & managed there after.
Thanks
