May be: related to Depo. Brown colored blood just means it is older blood being cleaned from the uterus. Take care.

Side-effects: These are typical side-effects of Depo provera as is an average of 10 pounds of weight gain per year and some loss of bone mass which reverses when you stop the Depo as long as you get plenty of calcium and vitamin D. Some women also have some depression while on it. Hope this helps.
