A member asked:
I have been getting brown stretchy discharge instead of period for the last 6 months what is the possible causes? been on depo-provera n bc pills within 1yr

No ovulation: It's likely that you're not ovulating, since ovulation is what brings on normal periods. Sometimes after stopping the Depo-Provera shot, it can take many months before ovulation starts again. Since this has been going of for 6 months, i would recommend seeing your doctor.
