A member asked:

Brown discharge on depo-provera shot? it kind of smells odd, like irony or eggy...? no stds either, we both got tested.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be normal: You may have old bloody discharge for up to 9 months after Depo Injections. See a Provider if you are concerned. the smell may just be old blood.
