Light Bleeding After Depo Shot: Possible Causes & What To Do


Question
18, i took the depo shot, 4 months ago and lost track of the time, while i thought i was still covered for birth control, i was having unpretected sex with the man i live with, now i have been lightly bleeding for 3 days, not much at all, i was wondering if it has to do with the shot even tho, it was over a month ago, or something else because its never happened before?

Answer
The DepoProvera shot must be taken every three months, or you can become pregnant when having sex. There is no way to know if you are pegnant because you usually will stop your periods while on Depo. Bleeding, on the other hand, it not a sign of pregnancy. If you have any doubts, take a pregnancy test.
