depo?
So I got my depo shot on June 11th, a month ago today, I had my period for a week, which is weird for me concidering mine are only between 3-5 days.
I thought my period was over, and my boyfriend and I had sex, and the bleeding came back but went away. The next day we had sex again, and there was no blood.
Today, which would be 3 days after the bleeding, I noticed a brown discharge, and just a brown substance inside of me. Is this normal? Is it a side effect of the depo, or should I talk to my doctor?

I was on the Depo Provera shot for 4 years. The long term period could be an adjustment to the depo shot. The brown discharge could be old blood but again it is a possiblity it is a discharge. Seeing you are new to the depo provera shot it will take a few months for your body to fully adjust to the shot. From what I remember the doctor telling me it took a few months for my body to adjust afterall it is birth control. You should notice your period too start lighting up soon. It is also normal to only bleed very little "Spotting" basically very little blood. When I was on the shot I hardly bled at all..The only downfall was I did gain a lot of weight and had to be switched to another birth control.

Irregular periods are a really common side effect of the depo shot. I'm guessing the brown discharge is just old blood that's coming out, it's happened to me before. However, if the side effects get worse, you should see your doctor. I've heard a lot of bad stories about that shot. I'm not trying to scare you, just giving you a heads up.
