I'm on the depo shot, and that's just progesterone as well. I didn't have any periods till i had taken PM for 3 months in a row, and now my periods are completely random. Some times its a full blown period, and others i spot for 5 days. I don't have any answers for you, but I'm not too far off from what your experiencing. It seems that adding PM to a progesterone only BC makes our cycles a little screwy(for you and me at least).
I haven't been taking anything for BE for 2 months now and i have still gotten 2 strange and random periods. One was a few days after stopping the PM, and the next one was a week after the previous one, i only spotted for that one.
Im sure it has something to do with our bodies being used to the progesterone in our system that the estrogen with the PM threw a wrench in it. I have read that plenty of women help control when their periods come by cycling the PM, might be worth a try. But if your trying to avoid periods all together, let me know when you figure it out, I'm in that boat with you.
I personally will deal with the random periods if that means teeny and tiny will grow!
