Will There Be Any Health Issues If I Switch From Depo Shot To Pills?

Hello I ve been on the depo shot for a little over a year and I stopped getting my period I was a little late on getting my last shot and started spotting. I got my shot yesterday and was wondering would the spotting stop or is it an on going thing now? And also if I wanted to switch from the shot to the pill will there be any health issues?

Hi,

As you got your new Depo shot, spotting will reduce after some time. Yes, you can change to pill instead of Depo injection. It doesn't have any side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya, OBGYN
