I started my first Depo shot about 7 weeks and 3-5 days ago, I am 19 and going on 20 here in 3 months. I started to have spotting a few days after my first shot which I was told was normal, then now I feel I am bleeding I think it's lightly or medium, but it's bright red, is it normal or what? I am bleeding a little more than spotting, I also keep feeling like I'm about to start my period but I don't.
Bleeding on Depo shot what is normal and what isn't?

Anything goes, really. Everyone has different experiences with this Drug. It can be spotting, heavy bleeding, or anything in between. It may take a few shots before things settle down (that's common), or it may happen sooner. It's impossible to say. It took me about 3 shots, before I stopped bleeding, when I went onto this drug.
