What Causes Vaginal Bleeding Post Taking A Depo-Provera Shot?
I recently was given the Depo-Provera shot on May 9th while I had my period. I had unprotected sex on May 21st. I was late for ,y period the next month, and when I did bleed, it was only for a very short while. Now I am finding dark spots of small amounts of black or brown blood in pantyliner. Does this sound like pregnancy or just an effect of the Depo? Thank you so much!

Depot provera can cause such spotting so no need to worry about pregnancy as i depot provera provides contraception.
