What Causes Missed Periods And Random Brown Discharge?

I have found out that I have chlamydia. I got it from my new partner. He was just as shocked as I was. I figured that I have had it for about four months. When we first got together. I was on what they call the Depo shot for a little over a yr and out of no where I started bleeding heavily with chunk size blood clots. so I didn t go back for my next shot to let it run out of my system to see if the bleeding would stop. I then stopped bleeding which was around Aug.8 of this yr. I haven t had a period since and was wondering if chlamydia is the cause? When I was expecting my period this month I started having brown discharge. there was no pain, no odor nothing but brown discharge. it wasn t heavy just random.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irregular bleeding and spotting is a common side effect of depo provera injection, due to its hormonal effect.
Chlamydia infection do not cause any changes in the menstrual cycle.
I suggest you not to worry regarding spotting as it is the commonest side effect of the depo shots.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
