What Could Longer Periods And Spotting With Cramps Indicate?

I have been bleeding for a week and half now and having nausea. The first 5 days were like a regular period & the rest has just been spotting daily. I also had cramps for the first six days. I took a home pregnancy test and it's negative. I'm also on the birth control shot. I'm not sure what the symptoms mean. Please help

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question and I understand your concern.The symptoms you are describing are few of the common side effects( nausea,vomiting, irregular spotting, breast tenderness etc) of birth control injections. As you have already have had a negative pregnancy test I would suggest you consult your local gynecologist if the side effects you are experiencing are getting bothersome for you for clinical evaluation and any replacement method of contraception if required.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health
