Have Brown Discharge And Pregnancy Symptoms. Pregnancy Test Negative. Is It Due To Depo Withdrawal?

I had my last Depo injection around the end of August as was suppose to get it about mid to late november and did not get it because I wanted to get off because of the side effects. About a month later I as going through the depo withdrawal symptoms. On january 11 i believe I had my first period off of Depo, basically just brown than red. Lately I ve been having pregnancy symptoms but no positive pregnancy test . Is there a chance I can be pregnant and need a blood test to be surel or is it still the depo withdrawals?

Hello,

Here, you should undergo one blood test for beta HCG level to exclude product of conception or implantation bleeding which is mostly associated with brown discharge.

In exclusion of pregnancy, other reasons are hormonal imbalance (due to withdrawal effect of depo shot), vaginal infection and may be co-existed with stress/ anxiety, thyroid disorder, irregular diet habit, psychological factor etc.

Need to investigate properly by doing one USG scan, complete hormone assay, thyroid profile, vaginal swab test, blood sugar etc. Treatment depends on underlying etiology. Consult with your gynecologist at the earliest.

Avoid stress, take healthy diet with iron supplements, control body wt, maintain genital hygiene properly and take proper sleep.

Be well.
