Hello I am 5'3 , and 24 years old. I just recently started using Depo -provera on the 29th of June, i didnt have a period until August 3rd, and since then i have been brown spotting for almost a week and half now. How long will the spotting continue? I will receive my second shot in september, will it stop by then? This is the only side effect i have had with the BC shot. Im not sure whether to continue using it or not. I just do not like the spotting. My husband will be coming for RnR in october from afghanistan and this may sound silly but I would not like to have intercourse if this continues. It would make it all awkward. Also is there anything to stop the spotting? Please help.
