Discharge after depo shot

by kenyangal, May 21, 2008 03:11AM
I had my first ever depo shot on 12th May, which was also my first periods day. Normally my periods last 3 days but in this case, by 13th they kind of disappeared. Since then to date, I have been getting kind of a discharge, sometimes bloody, other times just brown, no smell. It's unpredictable, but each time I pee, I get some blood on the tissue. Haven't been able to have sex since then cos of this.

Is this normal?

Word of Advice-  GET OFF DEPO!  I took it for two years, it made me gain 50 pounds in two months, made me extremly moody, bled on an off with no warning for the first 4 months before it leveled out.  However, the worst is that it messes up your bodys hormone balance.  It is never good to stop your period.  I now have polyps in my uterace from too much estrogen.  My doctor thinks it could be related to my Depo use, since I was fine before I took it, and don't have a history of them in my family.  All of my women problems began after starting Depo.  Please take my advice and use the pill.  Any form of birth control that stops your period, although it seems like a godsend, is not good for you at all.

Hey, thanks for the advice.
So what I'm experiencing is normal?

How did depo do that to you yet it has no oestrogen? For my it's the better option cos I can't use oestrogen, my progesterone is really low, and I need to gain some weight too.
