A member asked:

I was 2weeks late taking my depo( birth control) shot after i got my shot i noticed excessive watery yellow discharge. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be careful: The Depo-Provera did not cause the discharge but it may mean you are going to ovulate, especially since you were late with your shot. Use additional birth control for the next three weeks.
