Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Intermenstrual spotting can be seen while you are on the depot shot because of the breakthrough effect of the hormones sometimes. Usually progesterone causes increased thickness of vaginal discharge. As you are having the associated pain also better to consult your gynecologist once and get examined to rule out other possible causes like local vaginal infection or cervical erosion etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
