HELP! Vaginal Discharge Burning Confusion!

[ris111]

I had the Depo Provera shot back in June and was due for another in September, however did not get another due to its side effects. I did not have a period the entire three months and a couple weeks after I was due for another shot, I have been receiving discharge that's sometimes bloody and sometimes brown, typical spotting not enough for any tampons or liners or anything. I figured because I hadn't been ovulating from the shot my system was just cleaning itself out. However it's been over a month now and I feel as if I have a yeast infection, lots of itching, burning, and discomfort. I have taken a pregnancy test and it read not pregnant however, I haven't had a period since June from the shot. What the heck might be going on? Also, I've had yeast infections quite frequently but never with a lot of discharge mostly just discomfort.

Poor u!  I found the same thing when i came off the depo - its sorted itself out after about 4 or 5 months... i think maybe some people are more sensitive to changes in their hormones.  As for the burning and itchy - sounds like another yeast infection, as bacteria and yeast often thrive in a warm moist environment, which is the case with an ongoing low grade discharge.  I'd say pop along to your doctor or gynocologist and get it checked out.

The depo could be responsible for the missing period, I only got my period once every three months and would get a very light flow for a couple days and then spotting, it would last for about 3 weeks.You should go to the doctor about the itching and burning.
