A member asked:

I have endometriosis and had my period from nov 7th till dec 7th and got a depo shot dec 14th. i havent got my period yet just brownish discharge, normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, normal: Depo inhibits the lining of the uterus(endometrium) and the brownish discharge was probably your "period" (withdrawal bleeding).

Dr Lewis and another doctor agreed
