yes is it completely normal to have a period or two at the start of receiving the injection. your body has to get used to what is going on. in the unfortunate event that you are bleeding longer than a normal period and for some considerable time IE 3/4 weeks and start to get tummy cramps that are painful then go see your GP and they will normally prescribe the pill for you to take for a couple of weeks which will ease any pain you may be in and should control the bleeding. it is not un-normal for the human body to reject any injection and with ones like the contraceptive injection it can take a while for the body to get used to it. some people are fine straight from the off but it is unfortunate that for some of us out there this is not the case.

I have friends who have done Depo-Provera and they told me that yes it is not uncommon to go ahead and have a period when starting off. Also, one of the side effects of Depo-Provera is breakthrough bleeding which can act like a period. It takes the body about 3 months to regulate to the medication, and around then is when the periods stop.
I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
