Most women do at least spot on the Depo shot. The bleeding can last for days, weeks, or even months. It gets better with time. The bleeding is not a sign that the shot is ineffective, and it's not dangerous, but some women find it annoying. If it's a big problem for you, contact your health care provider, who may be able to prescribe something to slow it down temporarily.
