Lower Abdominal Pain, Spotting After Being Sexually Active. On Depo Shot, No Problems Without Having Sex. Any Ideas?
I have been on depo shot for about two years now and have loved it. No problems or complaints at all.. havent had aby problems spotting or cramps or anything. It wasn't until just recently I became sexually active and am now experiencing some lower abdominal pain/cramps, very light but not often spotting like brown, & somewhat more tired. Is this normal or should I be worried I may be that 1 percent that got pregnant on depo?

Hello
Thanks for your query.
Spotting on the Depo is very common.
However, the cramps are not.
You could be having cramps due to initiation of sexual activity or a mild pelvic infection.
The only way to differentiate these from a pregnancy is to take a test and to visit your doctor.
Please do so.
Take care.
