On depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). spotting red, then brown discharge and then white gooey discharge. is this pregnancy? this is my last month of depo-provera (3rd month)

Unlikely: If you are on Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) it is unlikely that you are pregnant. It is possible to have spotting and various types of discharge on the Depo. Take a pregnancy test just to be sure.
