Is it normal to have intermittent bleeding after 15 days of a first dose of depo provera? Should I consult?

Bleeding under depo provera. I am 15 days after my first dose of depo provera and I have intermittent bleeding that lasts about 30-60 minutes and then nothing and it starts again after 8-9 hours without bleeding. I am currently waiting for an ultrasound to see if I have an isthmocele or tests for endometriosis and more. I had my 4th c-section 27 months ago and I am ligated.

Good morning, ma'am,
As long as it remains light and temporary, just monitor the situation. Spotting is frequent and may take several weeks to resolve.
I will remain available if you have any further questions!

hello,
first of all, thank you for your answer.
What worries me is that it's not just spotting. I mean it's almost a "flush" like after childbirth. A large amount of blood in a short time and then it stops and starts again a few hours later (+/- 10/12h between bleeds).

Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification!
If the bleeding persists for more than 2 weeks, is heavy and does not subside, I would suggest consulting a doctor as a precaution.
Sincerely
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
