Hi,
I understand your concern.
Depot contraceptive is high dose single hormone preparation, you had taken one prick only. The effect of the medicine lasts in body for 12-13 weeks. You had withdrawn after one injection only.
The brown discharge you had was due to withdrawal of the hormone from your body
After withdrawal it may take 9-10 months for return of normal periods & fertility.
Thanks.
