Hi, and thanks for the question.

It is very unlikely that you are pregnant, because Depo is highly effective (99%) when used correctly. On the other hand, spotting while on Depo is not at all unusual. So....between this and the fact that you only very recently completed your pregnancy, you are most likely not pregnant. If you need to take a pregnancy test for your own peace of mind, then do so...it won't hurt...but will almost certainly be negative.

Best of luck and good fortune!
