What Does Light Bleeding After Depo Shot Indicate?

Hello, I have a question, in the beginning of december I got the depo shot at planned parenthood. I got my period and stopped then a couple of days later I started again, its very light but its been every day now and my boyfriend says that my vagina smells a little weird even after I just got out of the shower. I dont know if its cause of the shot or if i have an infection or something. I am currently unemployed so i dont have money to go in to a clinic. I dont know what to do, help please!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, some time due to hormone therapy vaginal secretion increases little bit and because of this chances of fungal infection may be increases with the history of coitus, keep the area clean and you can use "Povidone iodine" suppository this would give better result, and no need worry about this, hope this information helps, take care.
