Hello. My first time getting on the depo shot was the beginning of October , I was suppose to get my 2nd shot December 31st. I am trying to get off depo. I had unprotected sex 3-4 times & my boyfriend came in me the times we had sex, it is now Jan 21st and I've been experiencing brownish blood or discharge . Sometimes dark brown . After sex I'd see blood and then after I will be spotting brown again . Then a week later i'd experience pinkish reddish blood or discharge that looks tinged. And the very next day there is nothing. My blood sometimes looks a bit bright or looks as if it's a dark orange color as well. Sometimes my boobs are sore and then their not. I use to experience lower back pain and lower abdomen pain I'm just wondering what could possibly be going on.
You could still get pregnant. The depo covers you until Jan, so it was Feb when you had the unprotected sex, theres def a chance that you could be even though the test was neg. You shoukd go to the dr. for a blood test too.

Hello,
If you stop getting Depo-Provera injections, your period usually returns within 3 to 10 months but sometimes it may take 12-18 mths. During this time, ovulation can return at any time. If you are doubtful regarding the status of your pregnancy, you can go in for blood pregnancy test which measures the amount of hCG in your blood. Transvaginal ultrasound at as early as 5-6 wks of pregnancy can also confirm pregnancy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
