What Does Spotting After Sex When On Depo Shots Indicate?
I am currently on the depo shot which is due may 7th, I have had unprotected sex for under a month. In the last couple days I ve had slight spotting but only when I wipe am I noticing it. I m not really sure what it is, could it just be a very light period? On my first shot, the last one I had, I didn t bleed at all.

Hi,
Depo shots consist of hormone Progesterone. This hormone shows side effect of irregular, absent, frequent, scanty or profuse bleeding. I feel you have this side effect. It mostly lessens with the advent of time. Please don't worry. Consult your prescribing doctor in case of excessive trouble. Only be careful about genital hygiene and cleanliness.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
