    Did you get your shot on time, or was it a little late? I don't think it is anything to be concerned about. Spotting/bleeding is one of the unfortunate side effects of the drug (as is absolutely no bleeding EVER while on it, oddly enough).

    If you're worried and want to put your mind at ease, your best bet is to call your doctor, explain what's going on and get his/her opinion.

      I got the shot on time like always within the first 2 days of it being due. I have called my doctor and they cant get me in until the end of the month, and hopefully i will have stopped bleeding by then
