What Causes Brownish Discharge After Discontinuing Depo Shots?
I ve been on Depo for alittle over two years, just about a week ago I stopped taking depo after the 3 months were up. Now when I wipe after using the bathroom I have a darker brown discharge or blood I m not sure what it is. But it has been happening since about 2 days off the shot, what could this be? Sometimes I feel minor cramping but nothing major

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with dark brown vaginal discharge with cramps followed by discontinued depo-provera I am suggesting that you are gradually developing side effects of depo-provera
Other side effects include weakness malaise headache dizziness diarrhoea joint pain myalgia urinary retention confusion hot flushes
In view of this please see a gynecologist specialist for further clinical assessment and re-evaluation of your contraceptive method
I hope this helps Regards
