Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum

It seems you are experiencing the side effect of Depo use.It is common to have irregular periods and spotting on any contraceptive preparation.Depo shots are usually quite effective in pregnancy prevention and usually unprotected intercourse can be performed after a week of the shot.
Relax and wait for the periods to start.If there is no bleeding even after a week then consider visiting a Gynaecologist for evaluation.
Take care!
