What Causes Heavy Bleeding With Depo Provero Shot?

I have been on the depo-provero shot since Janiary 2013. I have never been late for my shot, in fact I always got it at 12 weeks. I got my last shot in March and my body has been completely different. (Cramps, spotting, morning sickness, loss of appetite). I have had the worst of the side effects like hair loss and skin lesions. I have not had my period since I have been on this shot but around May 5th I started spotting red/brown once a day for about 4 days, it was every other day. And now I am bleeding like crazy. Is it normal for your period to come back on the shot? I m switching to Cryselle Barr birth control pills today.
