Hi I'm 21 and I just started the depo shot
in January ans i was made aware that
SPOTTING is a side effect however it seems
that the "spotting" Im experiencing is
more of a period, uterus lining and all,
but it hasn't stopped and it's been about
a week now... am I ok? has anyone else
experienced this? or should I get checked
out? it's throughly halting what little
sex life I have.

A week is okay. As long as you're not
filling more than 3 pads an hour it's
nothing to worry about and there's
literally nothing anyone can do to stop
it. I spotted for two weeks myself, and
I've heard of bleeding to some extent for
as long as the first whole month!
