Welcome to Connect, @ohkaney. You'll notice that I moved your message about symptoms from the Depo shot and your concern about being pregnant to this existing discussion. I did this so you could more easily meet other members who have experience with depo-provera.
According to this website from Planned Parenthood, spotting and weight gain are common side effects of depo-provera. It states,
"Most women have some change in their periods, including bleeding more days than usual, spotting between periods, or no periods. This is most common during the first year."
