Depo shot ?'s: Depending on when you received the "depo shot" relative to prior ovulation and sexual exposure, pregnancy may be possible. Obtain a serum HCG shot to be certain about possible extra-uterine pregnancy (ectopic). If the test is negative, and bleeding persists, see your gyn physician for an exam and additional testing.
