A member asked:
I'm on depo-provera and having brown blood is this ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depo: When you cut your finger in the kitchen the bleeding is bright red, then dark red, then brown in the form of a scab. This occurs as the blood oxidizes. The transit time through your vagina was long enough so that the blood oxidized. Therefore the brown discharge is normal.
