Spotting is common: Most women experience some spotting during their cycles at some point. Since you are on Depo-Provera and near its 3-month cycle, this makes it more common, especially during the first few cycles. If you are sexually active, check for pregnancy. Infections, thyroid disease, and many medications can cause this as well. So, if not pregnant and if it recurs/persists, consult doc. Good luck.
