A member asked:

Why am i spotting this reddish brown color. i came off the depo-provera shot about 5 months ago and i've been having unprotected sex.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: Unprotected sex 5 months after the last Depo-Provera shot could result in pregnancy. Infection is another possibility.
