Is it normal to spot after taking Depo Provera and how long does the spotting last?

I started depo provera the 8th, when I first got my period. It’s not heavy, but very light. It only shows when I wipe and gets a tiny bit heavier towards night.

Yup its normal. It can last from a day or so or up to a month or so.
Depo really screws up your system and your bone health. I’d seriously reconsider taking the shot.
I was on it for four years. Spotting at odd times (no period just spotting), weight gain, mood swings, etc.

Hi… Listen every woman or girl is defferent. I have daughters on DEPO ages 23 and 26, and they are both experienceing different symptoms, one spots every now and then and the other never spots! One gets her period, and one doesn’t. It all depends on your own body…
It is different for everyone. I took Depo Provera for a year and my bleeding almost never stopped. Every three months, after getting the shot I would not spot for about three weeks. Then I would constantly spot for the remaining two months. I also had gained ALOT of weight on the shot. After getting off of Depo. the weight issue went away, and I got a regular 28 day cycle. -Sarah LaRue-
I was on Depo for over a year. Although my period had stopped, I was spotting for a month straight! Then when I got off it, I had my period for what seemed like an eternity.
Also, I know 2 girls that started having ovarian cysts while they were on Depo. As someone said down below, I would reconsider taking Depo.
