If you are currently receiving the DepoProvera injections every 12 to 14 weeks, and have not been late for any injections, then you are protected. The possibility of pregnancy is about 0.1% when the Depo injections are received correctly & consistently.
Irregular bleeding & spotting are side effects of the Depo injection. These side effects are very common. Irregular spotting may occur throughout the first 6-9 months of use. You should notice an improvement in your bleeding pattern with each shot you receive. After 3 injections, most women are having little to no bleeding.
