Hi,,I got my depo shot 2 weeks after my periods and the doctor did a pregnancy test to make sure I was not pregnant before taking the shot,,,so my periods did came on but weaker this time with something like long white tissue coming out,,so is this normal after the first depo shot?and again I had unprotected sex with my man after a month of taking the shot,,,can I be pregnant?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you take depo shot you don't have protection for first two weeks.
The periods are light or missing in depo usage.
You are less likely of being pregnant.
Do a vaginal smear because the secretions you refer may be yeast infection.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
