This can happen from time to time, once you've been on Depo a while. The way to resolve it is to have your next shot at 9 weeks, rather than 12. Then have your future shot 10 weeks after that, & then the one after that, at 11 weeks.
You can go back to having it at 12 week intervals once the bleeding has stopped altogether, or you can have it at 11 weeks to keep any bleeding under control, if you prefer.
