Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that it can be normal, and not uncommon to have bleeding like you are describing after starting depo Provera injections. Usually if you stick with the method for another one or two injections the bleeding will get much better and maybe go away completely so that you don't even have periods. IF you don't like the method, just make an appointment with the provider that delivered your baby to discuss the different methods--there are lots--pill, IUD, inplantable contraceptives, patches, etc.
Congratulations on your baby!
Good luck!
