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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See gyn: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) frequently causes irregular bleeding but since this is after sex more likely a vaginal/cervical irritation or infection.
