Is It Normal To Have Spotting And Cramps After Been On Depo Shot?

I have been on the DEPO shot for over 3 years and have almost never had any spotting. I know spotting is normal, but all of a sudden I am having cramps and I am going back and forth between spotting and almost a light period, even after years of almost nothing at all. Does that mean something is wrong or is this still normal?

Hello,

The presence of cramps and spotting is completely normal while on DEPO Provera.

In case there is extreme discomfort it is suggested to see a doctor.
