To @Balbine:
The use of Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone), a contraceptive in the form of an injection, effectively protects against pregnancy. Depo-Provera works by inhibiting ovulation and thickening the cervical mucus, which makes it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. The effects of one dose last for about 12 weeks (3 months), so if the injection is taken regularly every 12 weeks, the protection against pregnancy should be effective.
Your symptoms, such as lower back pain, right side pain, and abdominal pain, can be related to a variety of factors, including the process of your body returning to its pre-pregnancy state after the birth of your baby. Light bleeding for the past two months can also indicate health problems that should be evaluated by a specialist.
Is it possible to be on depose provera and get pregnant. In fact I have pain in my lower back, pain in my right side as well as premenstrual pain. However, I have had light bleeding for almost 2 months (1 month 2 weeks). I would like to add that I am the mother of a 5 month old and that I took the deposit exactly 2 months ago

Minor bleeding or spotting may occur when using injectable Contraception, even 3 months after injection. This is quite a common phenomenon and does not mean that the effect of contraception is weakened.
However, if the bleeding does not stop despite the prescribed treatment (Exacyl and Araufix), you should consult your gynaecologist again. Your doctor may perform a more thorough evaluation to rule out other causes of bleeding, such as infections, polyps, fibroids, or other health problems. Your doctor may also recommend a change in dosage or other medications that may help control bleeding.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
