This is similar to my post below yours, but to my knowledge whilst you are on the shot, my nurse told me some people don't spot at all, but others do for the majority of the time of the 3 months. The problem I am having is I have been off it for a while now and i'm still spotting =(

i don't think you have anything to worry about.
