I'm an 18 year old girl and just stop taking my depo-provera shot 3 months ago and i have bad abdominal pain and had a brown yellowish discharge?

Infection or period: Your period could b coming on, as Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) lasts 3 months. You may be experiencing cramps. If you have had unprotected sex, you should be examined and checked for infection or pelvic inflammatory disease.
