What Causes Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding Post Withdrawal From Depo Shot?

Hello my name is kimberly , I m writing to you because I ve been experiencing some issues. In 2015 i was on the depo shot and i only got two shots, I was suppose to go back for the third one but i didn t because i was having long periods due to the shot. After I stop the shot I been having abnormal bleeding until today which is the 3rd of February. I also experienced a yeast infection twice in two different month back to back once in October and once in November. I also been having lower back pain and pelvic pain. This week Tuesday Feb 2,2016 I had a abscess on the right side of my vulva but it went down today Feb 3. My question is what can it be? could it have been the Depo that cause this mess cause this never happened to me before. Can some one please give me a feed back cause I don t know whats going on with my body. Also I m going to see my primary care doctor and my Gyn in two weeks and I m not pregnant cause the hospital took a pregnancy test for me.
