What Causes Brownish Discharge After Using Depo Provera Injection?
So my last period was the first week of February and i got the depo shot and the 27th of February but since my last period I haven t had another except for the last few days I ve been noticing a brownish blood when I wipe but not actually in the urine and then yesterday and today I ve been spotting and have been having really bad cramps. Tonight I think i passed a blood clot or two but it didn t look like my normal ones it had more clear lining in it and there were about two or three is this normal or not? And will the pain I feel when I m supposed to have my periods stop if I continue to use the shot?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Depo can cause the periods to stop or decrease significantly when it is being used.
When you want to conceive and stop using it then your periods will return to normal.
The brown discharge is old blood , so instead of a full period, the use of the depo would have caused this small amount of blood and the clot ,to be seen.
I hope this helps
