How effective is Depo-Provera if you're bleeding?

Answer 1

No it doesn't necessarily mean you are pregnant, especially as the depo shot is a contraceptive, it would be highly unlikely. However, if you are worried, for your own reassurane, take a pregnancy test or acquire some advise from your GP. If you've not had sex or it is unlikely for you to be pregnant at all, then blood spotting is completely normal on the depo shot, and should stop in it's own time.

Answer 2

The effectiveness of Depo Provera doesn't depend on whether or not you are bleeding. It is highly effective whether or not you're bleeding or spotting. You can have sex during times of bleeding without any increased risk of pregnancy.

Answer 3

Bleeding on Depo Provera is a side effect of the medication, not a sign of pregnancy. If you are having nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue, take a pregnancy test. If you were late for your last shot, take a pregnancy test. Pregnancy on Depo Provera is possible, but unlikely.
