Good move.: Sounds like the lining of the uterus has been stimulated to the point that some of it comes off and you bleed a bit. Ask your doctor to explain more and get a medicine that will reestablish balance

Depo: When you use Depo-Provera your endometrial lining is quite thin due to suppression of ovulation. It can spontaneously shed causing daily spotting due to lack of estrogen effect. See your medical provider who can cycle you on oral contraceptives for a month, rebuild your lining and stop the bleeding. This is an expected side effect after long use of Depo
