Hello Diana,

I can understand your concern. spotting between periods, unusual menstrual cycles and some GI upset along with bloated stomach are all side effects of the Depo shot you have taken. They will decrease and resolve as time will pass and your body will get adapted to the shot effects.

However, if you observe excessive bleeding that is not stopping, foul vaginal odor or fever, you should contact your gynecologist as they are signs of infection.

I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon!

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
