Dear Nikki,

How long had you been on Depo-Provera?

A common side affect of being on Depo-Provera is Amenorrhoea (the absence of a regular menstrual period) as well as other bleeding irregularities. Fertility is often also delayed after going off Depo (the average is 9-10 months after the last injection); however, I would never assume you would be “safe” for those 9-10 months. If you are off Depo, then you should be using some other form of birth control if you are sexually active.

Based on this, the bleeding & spotting and lack of a period may all be caused by the Depo and going off the Depo. Have you taken a home pregnancy test recently? My best bet would be that the HPT would come back negative, but it may be good to take one just to be on the safe side.

Best luck,

Hannah

    My girlfriend had seen her period only once in the last 2 months after unprotected sexual Intercourse. Though she is not feeling or complaining of any symptoms of pregnancy. Will she likely be pregnant without signs and symptoms?
