Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. From the description of your symptoms, it appears that the spotting may have occurred subsequent to the vaginal procedure and added to this, the hormone imbalance created by the administration of the depo shot further accentuated the problem. Please report to your health care provider for clinical correlation and also share your reports if possible. If the cause of the spotting is the depo shot, it normally subsides in a couple of cycles. Styptics should control the bleeding. Hope this helps.
