Regarding your vaginal discharge, it appears to be a vaginal infection which could be Bacterial vaginosis for which you may need treatment from your Doctor. Regarding the heavy bleeding which followed after your depot shot, it is quite normal and termed as breakthrough bleeding after taking injectable progesterone. If the bleeding does not subside in a few weeks, you may need to consult your Doctor in this regard. Kindly take treatment as advised by your Gynaecologist, first to treat your possible Bacterial vaginosis.
