Hi,
Depo contains female hormone progesterone derivative. It is a hormonal contraceptive used for preventing pregnancy. Vaginal spotting or bleeding is common on starting the drug. Your body needs time to adjust to the new hormone levels. These symptoms are likely to reduce in the subsequent cycles and hence do not worry.
In case of excessive bleeding or bleeding with clots, I would suggest you to visit your gynaecologist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
