Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
The description you have given is mainly due to Depo shot. After unprotected sex, what she experienced as discharge, cramps and spotting is mainly due to failure of implantation followed by bleed. Since she has had periods also, pregnancy is not possible.
Nothing to be worried about these things.
