When you get your first Depo injection within five days of the beginning of your period as it is meant to be given, Depo is immediately effective. There is no need to wait two weeks for the shot to become effective. In your case, Plan B use was not needed. Depo remains effective as long as you are getting your shots every 10-13 weeks.
During the first year of Depo use, women can expect menstrual irregularities. This may include periodic spotting or bleeding, no bleeding at all, heavy and frequent bleeding, and irregular periods.
The discharge and blood you experienced after sexual intercourse is perfectly normal. The discharge was most likely his semen spilling out of you, and the bleeding was due to the Depo shot.
Most vaginal discharge is perfectly normal, even if you are not sexually active. However, if you notice discharge that is accompanied by a foul odor or discharge that is a strange color or texture, you may have a vaginal infection and should be evaluated by a medical professional.
