On depo jab for 3 months and keep getting brown blood and also after sex? normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: vaginal/menstrual spotting and irregular bleeding is very common, particularly in the first 3-6 months of use. When used at the proper frequency(90) days and dose, it is still effective birth control even when spotting.
