Hello,
Spotting and bleeding are expected side effects of Depo Provera. However, you can take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Bleeding will not interfere with the pregnancy tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
