What Does Bleeding While On Depo Shot Indicate?
I have been bleeding only when I wipe for over a month. I am on the Depo shot and just had a child 5 months ago. I ve been more tired than usual and very emotional since this has started. I have 6 kids and never had this problem after giving birth to any of the others.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Depo and other types of hormonal medication can cause break through bleeding, this is possibly the reason for the bleeding that you are noticing.
Your doctor can give you medication to stop the bleeding and , if the depo does not agree with you, you can use an alternative contraceptive.
I hope this helps
