Hello,
You are on depo shot and are experiencing bleeding on and off and also cramps. Depo shots may cause unwanted effects. Cramps and bleeding on and off are some such symptoms. These side effects may cause discomfort, if they persist to occur they may need medical attention.
For most people, symptoms of bleeding and cramps resolves as the body adjusts with the changes. In case the symptoms continue, get clinically examined by a Gynae, you will be given conservative treatment for it or suggested to switch to some other birth control device that suits you better.
With Depo-shots, vaginal bleeding is not only a common side effect but one that's expected to occur in about 25% of users in the first year. Stay away from addictions if any,
smoking, drugs, alcohol , etc. Take rest and relax. Take home made nutritious food and learn to manage
stress both physical & emotional.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
