Continued bleeding
I'm a mother of one year old. Last April I took contraceptive injection. Since then I been having irregular menstrual cycle. Consulted gynecologist, she said it might be due to injection. Also suggested tablet (trapic mf) if I have heavy bleeding. October 16 I started menstruating till now (6th Nov) I'm bleeding, it's been 20 days, inbetween I took the suggested tablet for two days menstruation stopped for one day again it came. It's low bleeding only...first 7 seven had my usual flow...after it's low only. Should I be worried or is this the side effect of injection.
Note: I only took one dose

Irregular bleeding and spotting are side effects of injection.

Prolonged, mostly light bleeding like this is a well recognised side effect of the contraceptive injection, especially after just one dose, so what you're going through fits that pattern rather than anything new or separate.
Next Steps
Since the tablet only paused it for a day, please consult your gynaecologist again to review whether a longer course or a different approach suits you better, because 20 days of bleeding is worth adjusting even if it's light.
Health Tips
Go in sooner if the bleeding turns heavy again, you feel dizzy or very tired, or it carries on without any change for several more days.
