Question: how long do you bleed after you stop taking the depo shot?
Answer: This bleeding may continue until the progestin from the depo shot wears off (which can take 11 to 14 weeks). You may just have some irregular spotting, or you may not have any bleeding issues at all. 2﻿ Spotting and continuous bleeding is the main reason why most women end up stopping Depo Provera.
