Spotting when starting Depo Provera?

I just started Depo Provera a few months ago, the first month after i got the first shot was normal, but for the last month and a half i've been bleeding a little everyday. The doctor told me it was normal to have spotting for a while after starting, but i was wondering if this happened to anyone else, and how long till it stopped??

i was on depo before and yes that does happen sometimes, some people do not get periods at all and some do, i was one of the people who didn't get periods but like maybe 2 or 3 times out of a year i would get real light pink or browinsh discharge for a couple of days and then it would just go away, but it is normal to spot.

good luck

I've been on Depo for about 2 and half years. Spotting is normal even for that length of time. After a while you might not get your period at all for a few months. Oh joy! Oh joy!
