How long should I use the calendar?

Use it for one shot window, about 3 months. Bring it sooner if bleeding feels heavy, new, or worrying.

Should I wait to call if bleeding is heavy?

No. If bleeding is heavy, prolonged, painful, or paired with dizziness, shortness of breath, pregnancy concern, or severe symptoms, contact a clinician.

Can I track this in Floriva?

Yes. Floriva can hold bleeding and symptom notes on your device. You can also print this page or use a paper calendar.

Depo Shot Bleeding Calendar

A 3-month calendar for Depo shot dates, spotting, bleeding, heavy days, cramps, headaches, mood notes, and clinician questions.

The Depo shot can change bleeding. Some people spot. Some have light bleeding. Some have no bleeding. Heavy or long bleeding can also happen.

This calendar helps you show the pattern. It does not tell you how to treat bleeding. Do not use it to change medicine on your own.

3 month bleeding calendar

Use one box per day. Keep the marks short.

Key:

N = no bleeding S = spotting B = bleeding H = heavy bleeding C = cramps Head = headache Mood = mood note

Week Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Weekly note 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

If a day needs more detail, use the daily detail rows below.

Date Week and day Bleeding mark Flow Cramps 0 to 10 Headache Mood Notes : N / S / B / H light / medium / heavy yes / no ok / low / anxious / angry N / S / B / H light / medium / heavy yes / no ok / low / anxious / angry N / S / B / H light / medium / heavy yes / no ok / low / anxious / angry N / S / B / H light / medium / heavy yes / no ok / low / anxious / angry N / S / B / H light / medium / heavy yes / no ok / low / anxious / angry N / S / B / H light / medium / heavy yes / no ok / low / anxious / angry N / S / B / H light / medium / heavy yes / no ok / low / anxious / angry

Use plain notes. "Spotted all day" is useful. So is "heavy enough to cancel plans."

Weekly count

At the end of each week, count the days.

Week No bleeding days Spotting days Bleeding days Heavy days Cramps days Headache days : : : : : : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

This count helps your clinician see whether the pattern is changing.

What to flag for care

Mark what happened.

Bleeding felt heavy for you. Bleeding lasted longer than you expected. Spotting happened on many days. Cramps were new or worse. Headaches were new or worse. Mood changes affected daily life. You felt dizzy, weak, or short of breath. You had new pelvic pain. You had a pregnancy concern. You want to talk about staying on Depo or switching.

If a symptom feels urgent, do not wait for a full calendar.

Questions for your clinician

Pick the questions that fit your calendar.

Does this bleeding pattern fit what you expect with Depo? Should we check another cause? Should I be checked for anemia? Could pregnancy, infection, thyroid changes, fibroids, or polyps matter here? What symptoms mean I should call right away? What should I track before my next shot? What are my options if this pattern keeps bothering me?

Floriva can hold this kind of log on your device. Paper works too. Bring the summary, not every private note, if that is enough for the visit.
