Hi, depo injections are known to cause irregular and breakthrough bleeding as annoying side effects. Break through bleeding is usually in the form of light spotting in between cycles as appears to be your case. If it doesn't bother you much continue with the next injection as advised by your doctor else you can skip the next injection and switch to any other method for contraception.
