Hi redblondy, welcome!

Irregular bleeding is a common side effect of Depo-Provera so that might be what's going on but it could be something else. Are you close to your injection date? Bleeding is more common toward the end of the effective life of the shot. If you haven't had a pelvic recently and know you're ok, it might be a good idea to have your doctor check you to see if s/he can find out what's happening. Thanks for posting. Keep in touch and let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
