What Does Spotting After Depo Provera Shot Imply?
if your late for depo provera shot and start spotting, does this mean you are fertile? I have been on depo for about 2 years and I have not had a period the whole time, now that Im late for the shot, I am spotting. I read somewhere that fertility does not return for 6-18 months.

Hi, I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern.
If you are late for your depo injection it can sometimes cause spotting as lining of the womb starts shedding out due to reduced levels of the drug in blood.
You need to use condom as an alternative contraceptive methods till you get your fresh depo injection .
If spotting is worry some Tab Pause MF 3 times a day for 3 days will be of help.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
