Birth Control Switch
I have taken the depo provera birth control pill three times with my next due date in three weeks. I have been spotting and bleeding irregularly for the last 9 months while I was on the shot and am thinking about switching to the pill form instead. Could I wait a few months before switching over or is it advised to begin taking it when I am due for my shot?

No you start your next contraceptive pill on your due time . spotting and irregular period is the main side effect of depo provera ., otherwise you can wait for some more time then start.
