NO unusual: With depo-provera. While periods might stop all together - spotting is quite common. And if you have not had a period in a while, clots are expected. I would advise seeing md to check you out and evaluate in person.

See an OB/GYN: You need to be seen to be correctly evaluated. This is not an issue that can be addressed intelligently over the internet.
