Hello, everyone. I am 20 years old and is new to the depo shot. I got my shot toward the end of september, it hasn't even been 3 months yet and I am now expriencing brown discharge. I believe my period will come on in a few days. why???? My appointment isn't til december, why is this happening to me. No interaction with sex at all. Please REPLY!!!
i know im younger but it could be dead blood i had it and im fine it comes with the depo my sis is a nurse and she said its normal
Will my period follow after???? Thats al I care about
I've been on the Depo since May. I haven't had a full period since May. I have bled a little here and there, but that's about it. This may be your body flushing out the old blood.
I don't actually have an answer as to why this is happening, but I got the depo shot about three years ago, almost four now, and have been off it for a year but am still experiencing a lot of oddness, including the rusty spotting. Mine usually only happens just before and just after my period. My recommendation is to find an alternate source of birth control because there is a lot of bad stuff that can occur with the depo shot and I personally experienced most of them. Docs will tell you differently but my own experience and speaking to others who had been on it has all come up with the same answer; get off it.
