What Causes Vaginal Spotting For A Prolonged Period?
I’m a 31 year old mother of two. I was on Depo when I graduated high school and got back on it this past August. Before the shot took away my period completely with no breakthrough bleeding and after my first shot in August it appeared to do so again. Then when I got my 2nd shot in November, about 2-3 weeks later I had breakthrough spotting for two days. Fast forward to now, I’ve been spotting since before Christmas. I have an odor and cramping. What’s going on?
