I got the depo shot 2.5 months ago. i haven't had any periods since then, but a brown discharge started last night and now blood ?

Bleeding on depo: This is not unusual. Spotting anytime during last few weeks before depot shot is due is not unusual. If this is your 1st Depo shot, do a pregnancy test. If negative, getting your next Depo-Provera shot now will stop the bleeding.
