After my second child, I was not  sexually active. My child is now 2 yrs old. I returned to sex using Depo-Provera for contraception, the shot every three months.  Two months ago I started having my period,  which I don’t understand. What’s happening with me?

    I’m not an expert in hormonal contraception, but I know that one side effect of Depo-Provera is spotting or irregular menstrual bleeding. (On the sex side, D-P can also cause libido changes.) I suggest that you visit whoever prescribed the Depo and discuss things. You might want to continue despite the side effects, or you might prefer to move to another method. There are many to choose from.
