Brief Answer:
Get your investigations done.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Bleeding and blood clots are due to hormonal imbalance caused by depot shot.
But if you have missed period along with bleeding get your blood beta hcg levels to rule out the possibility of pregnancy and pelvic ultrasound to rule out the cause.
You can take hemostatic drug to stop bleeding.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
