Spotting is no way a symptom of pregnancy. In fact spotting during pregnancy is a bad sign, suggesting some risk to the growing baby. During progesterone treatment, sometimes, some bleeding may occur - break through bleeding. If it starts bothering too much, you may have to increase the dose of progesterone.
Increase in the size of nipples can be either by progesterone, due to handling or due to pregnancy. However, while on depot Provera, pregnancy is unlikely.
