Had Unsafe Sex, Had Bleeding, Soreness. Been On Depo Shot. Help?

Hi, i've been on depo for about 4 weeks now. And i've been having this sort of clear discharge in my underwear. I had unprotected sexual intercourse with my boyfriend on Saturday for the 2nd time and i bled afterwards. Sunday morning everything was normal, i was just a little sore down there. But Monday morning I was bleeding again, and it stopped. Is the depo actually working?

hi.. thanks for using healthcaremagic..
you are on injectable contraceptive with progesterone..
you had unprotected sexual intercourse and you have started bleeding thereafter..
you will have bleeding in the initial periods of your sexual life and even the depot injection which you have taken is known to cause intermittent bleeding...
see your gynaecologist for this.. all the very best..
