Hormones that Depo Provera contains act in two ways - they stop the ovulation and they cause the changes in the tissue of your uterus so it becomes less "welcoming" for the fertilization. This changes in the tissue of the uterus which is the same one that break apart and cause bleeding when you have your period are probably the reason why so many women on Depo, not all, but many of them, have experienced the same thing as you have - bleeding after sex that is probably caused by the fact that your cervix has become more irritable and more likely to bleed.
