A member asked:
I have had brown discharge coming out for about a month now and i just recently got the depo. how do i make it go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To stop the shots: The brown spotting and/or brown discharge are pretty common side effects of Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone). After the last shot of Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone), it can take over 6 months for the drug to leave the body. During this period women also could experience brown discharge which could linger until the Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is completely gone.
