Hi. I'm 37 and have not had a period for approx 20 years. I have the Depo contraceptive injection every 3 months. The last couple I have had some sporting and I was wondering if this is anything to be concerned about?

Hi, Anon.
Thank you for reaching out to us with your question.
It's always best to mention any changes to your doctor. Spotting is not uncommon and while it can be unpredictable, it usually happens in the first year of the shot. Depo-Provera thins the lining of the uterus (especially after prolonged use) and can cause break-through bleeding.
