A member asked:

If im on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) and have not had a period but is having light gooey brown discharge am i pregnant ?

Unlikely: One of the side effects of depoprovera is a change in menses anywhere from no menses to irregular menses. You can always check a pregnancy test first thing in the morning.

Possibly: Get a pregnancy test done. Failure rate of depoprovera is very low but not zero. See your doctor.
