Answer:

Yes i took the depro shot in July 2010, i received spotting and heavy bleeding for about 3 weeks, the next month i spotted for about 9 days, and then my last day i spotted for 4 days then normal period for 6 days.

Yes It is... I have been on depo for 3 1/2 years now and I have my period every other month. Along with that I get worse cramps. And my periods are not even always when they should be. Sometimes a week late.. sometimes early.

Answer

Yes, I had my first injection of Depo-Provera six months ago and have had a light to medium period every day of the six months. After switching to the mini pill two weeks ago this bleeding is still present
