I got my first depo shot in October and started bleeding two weeks ago. Not too heavy, but not spotting...somewhere in between. I figured if I was going to have any bleeding that it would have started within the first few weeks, but two months later? I am going to call my doctor after the Christmas holiday, but just thought I'd see if anyone else had this issue?

This happened to me too. I went to the doctor and he said that this is normal. Everyone takes to the shot differently. I wouldn't be too freaked out about it, but like you said, it's better to go see the doctor just to make sure.
I liked not having any periods, but I eventually had to get off the shot because it totally took away my sex drive. And I couldn't have that any longer!
Good luck!

It's pretty normal in the first 3 months to have spotting. Way back when I started Depo, I spotted for about 8 weeks

Depo really messes with women's bodies. You could bleed for MONTHS, you could have a regular period, you could not have a period ever, or you could spot at odd times.
Its "normal", but I wouldn't get the next shot!
