Question 3

I've been on the depo-provera shot for almost a year, and my boyfriend came in me today, and i started bleeding. almost like a red/brown mucus. why?

Accepted Answer

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) frequently causes irregular bleeding but since this is after sex more likely a vaginal/cervical irritation or infection.

Question 4

Blood and mucus in breastfed baby's diaper. 6weeks old. red-brown, turns darker after a few minutes. very smelly (more like a toddlers diaper). baby very fussy.

Accepted Answer

The baby may have an infection of the GI tract, please see your pediatrician. Monitor for any rectal temperature of 100. 4 or higher and if this occurs, additional testing will be performed in the Emergency room. Continue to feed as usual, monitor temperature and please see your pediatrician. A KUB imaging study may be ordered by your PCP.

Question 5

I'm experiencing what i'm feeling midcycle bleeding.it started with brownish mucus and then i had medium bleeding red+brown
is it safe to have sex?

Accepted Answer

I assume you mean unprotected intercourse. There is no way to be certain when ovulation occurred relative to the onset of the mid cycle bleeding. You want to use protection, if you don't want to get pregnant.

Question 6

Period ended on wednesday. sunday once dark red/brown blood was noticed when wiped. today bright red/mucus blood is coming out. not sexually active?

Accepted Answer

Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
