Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Depo-Provera shots are 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. As it is a hormonal birth control shot, its effect on menstrual cycle might vary from missing menstrual periods to breakthrough bleeding, spotting etc.

In few womens, periods stops after a year of taking depot shots. Also bleeding anus & bloody stools is the rarest side effect to be noted & immediate action to be taken.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
