How far along are you? I don't have answers for you, I'm sorry. I would suggest checking if your insurance has a nurse hotline you can call to ask. Unless your doc's office is open on Saturdays, then call them and ask them.
I believe the rule of thumb is that brown discharge is generally okay, it's old blood. I don't know about blood clots, though. And I know that clear discharge is generally normal.
Don't stress because it could be nothing. But I would call a nurse or doctor if you can. Someone with more experience will hopefully see this post... I don't know if you should go to the ER.
Ohhh lol. It could be a period, I had the depo for a while.. but I bled every 3 months for a month... I hated it... then I got the mirena and got it taken out and two days later had a period like what you described and got prego that month. Lolz
I see, I see. I was on the depo shot for about 9 months and I had to stop. I wouldn't bleed for 2 months after a shot, but that third month was non-stop, really heavy, and horribly uncomfortable. And I had started the shot to help with irregular, heavy, painful periods!! And after masturbation, without penetration, I would have a horrible cramp and gush blood for about half an hour (gross and a little descriptive, sorry). I went to the doctor for it after a while and the (male) doctor told me it was NORMAL and that I was fine. When my next shot was due I spoke to a female nurse practitioner who asked me 1. if anyone had suggested I use naproxyn to help reduce the blood flow and 2. why we don't try the pill instead?
When is your next dose due? Or did you stop so you could ttc?
It could just be the old blood from not bleeding regularly coming out. I'm sure you are fine, but I would still call a doc or nurse hot line if you can.
i was suppose to have my last shot in feb. But i stop and dont want to be on the shot anymore i was told that my period would come back within 3 month so i been waitin. I thought thats wat is was tell i saw the blood clots then it worry me. It was just discharge no red blood and the clots where and very dark red almost kind and blackish color so i thought mybe its a miscarrige.
