Question
Is it normal to get random cramps and stomach pains after being on Depo provera for three months? They feel just like period cramps except they're random. Also I've been spotting for the whole time I've been on this birth control.
Answer
It is not unusual to spot on Depo and the cramps and pain are worth a chat with the doctor who prescribed the shots. Likely not serious, but worth knowing! Good luck1
