What Causes Brown Discharge, Bad Cramps And Increased Appetite After A Depo Shot?
So i have been on the depo shot for about a year now and lately ive been really hungry, i had really bad cramp like pains last weekend and today i have started having dark colored discharge clumps and im not bleeding. I dont have to go back to get my shot for another month so why is this happening?
Hi, Irregular bleeding, heavy bleeding and spotting can be seen as side effects of the hormone treatment. Yet, it is always advisable to exclude/confirm pregnancy, though the possibilities are rare. You should get a serum beta-hCG titre estimation since urine pregnancy tests may not be of use in your case. Please see a specialist, get a complete evaluation along with a trans-vaginal sonogram, blood counts and urinalysis. Please maintain a healthy weight and genital hygiene. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
