You don't worry about it. That is the usual effect of taking Depot Provera. About 30% of women quit having periods after 3-4 injections, about 20% will have spotting as often as every day, and the rest are somewhere in between. If this is a problem for you psychologically, Depot is not for you. It will take at least 3 months and maybe up to 6-9 months after the last injection for it to leave your system.
