Hello,

After a depo shot mild spotting is a normal finding. You may not have regular cycles while you are on depo. If you do not have the next shot then the periods will return in 2-3 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
