Depo - Sudden Bleeding After Years

Hello everyone. I have what I'm not sure is a problem or not. I have been on depo for 6 yrs. now. I don't get my period. Occasionally, I'll have some very light, mild spotting, but not much. However, a couple weeks ago, I started having brown discharge, which I know is normal & I've had it before, but it seemed like more than usual. This discharge lasted about 2 weeks. I had to wear a pantiliner everyday. Then a couple days ago, it stopped & now I'm bleeding & passing frequent clots. I'm not sure whether to contribute this to depo, or if it's a sign of something else. Any thoughts?

Hi val10154, welcome!

Our bodies do change over time, so your body chemistry might just be beginning to react differently to the Depo. Or, there could be some other reason. It might be a good idea to discuss your situation with your doctor and see what s/he says. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
