need help!
I have been off the depo shot for a month now, and I have had unprotected sex three times, this last time I did, I had a quarter sized dry kind of wet discharge come out, when he pulled out. I have no idea, what this could be, I know I don't have and STI we both have been checked.

Thanks for using the forum.
Every woman has vaginal discharge. It could be related to that. The natural discharge changes throughout a woman's cycle due to hormonal changes that occur during the cycle. Thick discharge can also be related to yeast infection and STD. If the discharge was just a one time occurrence, I would chalk it up to hormonal changes and normal discharge after stopping the depo shot. If it continues or has itching, pain, odor I would have it checked out by your doctor.
Hope this helps.
