Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. In my opinion Medroxyprogesterone have adverse effects of irregular / unpredictable/ prolonged bleeding or spotting, and heavy bleeding. I suggest you to stop this type of contraception and try different method. Hope this helped you. Thanks.
