What Causes Irregular Period While On Depo Provera Shot?
I have been on the depoprovera shot for almost a year now. Recently I started spotting and one day of intense bleeding but now it s just a little spotting, but it s been about a week. Can this be because of the shot? I have been really stressed lately and I ve read that could be a sign.

If the symptoms are severe, you can consult your gynecologist for further assistance.
