Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Bleeding soon after a week after your periods with history of previously being on depo shots indicates that it could be due to hormonal imbalance. It might take some time for estrogen and progesterone hormone to reach basal normal levels.
In any case, kindly get your blood checked for FSH and LH levels. Depending on the result, you may require medications to regulate the periods back to normal. Kindly consult Gynecologist in this regard for appropriate management. Nothing much to be worried about.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
