Bleeding from the first depo shot what should I do?

I got my first depo shot January 9 started spotting on the 13th of February (only spotted for that one day). Bleeding started back up on the 18th it is now February 27 and I'm still bleeding.  I'm so worried what should I do? I'm not taking the shot no more. If I go back on the birth control pill would that stop the spotting/bleeding ?

I don't think it will, but you can always ask your doctor.  Unfortunately, this is common for the shot.
