I was on the Depo for almost 4 years then decided to give that a break and switch to the patch. During the switch I had a short, but normal period. I started the patch and everything was fine the first month but then the third week of the second month i started to get a brown discharge, like what comes at the end of your cycle accompanied with a gooey (i know, gross!) substance that reminds me of a pregnant womans mucus plug. I ignored it at first thinking that because my body had gone without a menstrual cycle it was trying to start. But then even after i took my last patch off, that was 4 days ago, my period hasnt started and im still getting the brown discharge. Ive never had any problem like this so im kinda embarrassed to go to the doc but not sure whats going on!
