Depot preparation has excess progesterone in it which causes ammenorea and when there is a breakthrough in hormones spotting or bleeding is seen generally. ...sometimes withdrawl bleeding can be superficial leading to pink brown dischsrge or sometimes endometrial lining tissue is shed along with which is greyish in colour. .do get a pelvic ultrasound done to be sure
