I've been on the depo shot for 4 months now.
And I spotted the first time I got it, but the 2nd time which was 2 weeks ago, I didnt at all, and now I'm bleeding a little bit.
Is this normal?
I really am bummed and worried.

Its normal... some women bleed for months, some bleed as a regular period, some spot at odd times of the month.

Check this site for all the horrible reviews about depo provera and google "depo provera lawsuit" before getting your next shot.

Its still early to see how the shot will effect you in the long run but its normal.. give it some time i was on depo for five years and never had a period after the first month so hope your just as lucky.....

That is very normal with Depo shot.....you can have spotting, you can have a normal period, or no bleeding at all......
I would not worry, but can check with dr. just to make sure if you are worried about it....

I have actually been on the shot for almost eleven years now because I had become pregnant twice on the pill. I also haven't had one period since I started it. I was told by my physician that it is quite common and that I should not worry about it.

Yes, it can be when starting out. Also, sometimes the spotting can occur if there's a delay in the schedule for the shots.
I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
