What Causes Irregular Periods And Bleeding After Each Intercourse?

I was on the depo shot for a little over 2 years. I recently stopped taking the depo 5-6 months ago, I started getting an period 2 months after getting off the depo, I ve tried tracking my ovulation but my periods are so irregular it would be impossible, I would have an heavy period for about 2-3 days then it goes away. Then I would have an light period that would maybe last for a day or a couple hours and then it goes away and so on and so on. lately every time I have intercourse with my boyfriend I bleed just during sex and maybe a little after. I have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 months now and nothing s happen, what can I do get get pregnant
