A member asked:

Why do i have a sore throat and a sore neck and sometimes light & dark discharge ? my last depo-provera shot was in dec 2013 . can i still be spotting ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depo: The sore throat and sore neck have nothing to do with the depoprovera. You could certainly still be having some irregular bleeding from your shot in december. Despite the bleeding, the depoprovera will still be giving you good contraception. Shouldn't you be due for another shot?
