Hi,

If you were on depo shots and had sex during this, it is not unprotected as the shot is protecting you against pregnancy.

The chances of getting pregnant are extremely low or almost nil till January 5.
The spotting and pink discharge may be due to the depo shots as they are known to cause irregular vaginal bleeding in some women. So please do not worry. You are not pregnant. If you are still feeling worried, get a urine test done to rule out pregnancy and set your mind at ease.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
