long term spotting with Depo

I just got my first Depo injection in late February and for awhile I didnt get my period at all, then i started spotting a little bit which didnt bother me because friends told me that it was normal and after awhile it would go away and I wouldn't get my period at all. But I have been constantly spotting for over 2 weeks now and I would like to know if this is normal?? It is really bothering me and it seems like its never going to end.

I have been losing my mind too with this Depo-Provera shot. I got it a month ago, and all I seem to do is spot. It's so annoying. I'd been wondering if that was a side effect of the pill, so thank you for answering my question.

Am I going to go back for another shot? I'm not sure.

I liked the pill a lot better than Im liking the shot so far. You know exactly when you get your period and it may take awhile to become like that but i never was bleeding for as long as I am now on the shot. But my friends told me that you may stop bleeding at all after awhile.. which is kinda scary, plus it is bad for your bones like many people have said.
