A member asked:
I got my first depo-provera injection about two weeks ago. yesterday and all of today i have been getting brown discharge. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is normal: The hormone is Depo-Provera drovera causes your uterine lining to thin, which often results in bleeding or bloody discharge. The brown is just old blood. You may expect this for several weeks after getting the Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) injection. Usually it stops entirely.
