Hi,
Thnaks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Abdominal pain and spotting are some of the common side effects while on depot preparations. You need to take symptomatic treatment like analgesics for abdominal pain. Spotting should subsidie gradually on its own.
However, if these symptoms persists for a longer duration or if it worsens, you need to consult Gynecologist for change in the contraceptive method which would suit you.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
