What Causes Vaginal Spotting While On Depo Shot?
Hi I m 19 yes of age. OK so in February I got my depo shot, had no periods(which was fine). 7/22 wasuppose to get my 3rd depo shot, but I didn t. Then my period came on the Sept. 12-15 and Sept.26 - Oct.1.. On Oct 12th I had sex with my Bf, few hours later I started spotting(light red). But this is my 4th day still spotting(regular red, light tummy cramps). But when i stand up, & go pee thats when itll flow a little or alot. My bf says its not my period, thinks I m prego. I think its irregular bcuz of the depo, just my body cleaning herself. I need someone else serious answer/opinion.

Hi,
The spotting and abnormal bleeding are quite common when stopping depo shot. It needs some months for fertility to be back.
