The most common side effect of DepoProvera Shot is irregular bleeding which may last for months after commencing this method of birth control 

It seems you are experiencing what is known as breakthrough bleeding which is bleeding or spotting between periods for several months Do not fret as this is quite normal 

Ibuprofen is known to help reduce the inflammation and pain that often come with abnormal uterine bleeding 

However it is of utmost importance to discuss the side effects with your doctor or gynaecologist as there are often different ways to manage the side effects 

Should you require a doctor for a physical appointment please indicate
