What Causes Bleeding After Depo Injection?
I'm on the depo injection but recently I've been bleeding lightly everyday. I'm constantly hungry even after I have eaten. I'm tired all the time. And had very bad pains in my stomach. Is this because of the injection? Also if you are on the injection and you have been bleeding does this prevent it from working?

Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Spotting or light bleeding every day may be a side effect by using depo-injection.
But you should contact with your doctor to exclude any infection of cervix by doing per vaginam exam.
If you havent any infection you may need to change method of birth control.
Spotting every day can lead you in anemia.
Take care of your self
