What Causes Abdominal Cramps After Receiving Depo Shots?
I ve had I think 4 depo shots, the last one being May and next one being August. I have started cramping a little bit and usually do when my period would normally come and so I attributed to that. I went to the rest room and noticed blood. Haven t had it long enough to know if it s spotting or a period but could I get a period after this long still? And can I spot due to stress?

Hi,
Depo shots could cause certain side effects like abdominal cramps and intermittent spotting and irregular menstrual cycles. Stress or anxiety would generally cause delay in getting periods. Kindly keep a watch on the symptoms. If it recurs frequently or becomes bothersome, you need to seek medical attention promptly.
