Q: Depo side effect ?

I just had my first shot last month....I am on the first period since I got it. I have been lightly bleeding for almost two weeks now. Just enough where I have to wear a light pad. Is this a normal side affect? Or is something else going on? I was on Depo once before and this didnt happen.

Thanks for any feedback about this.

Yes, that can be normal. You may not have the same side effects you had the last time you took it. Abnormal bleeding is normal while getting depo.
