Question: Hello. I had two injections of the depoprovera birth control shot starting last year in january. I had horrible side effects including bleeding dark blood for 3 months straight (but no period), my breasts shrinking dramatically in size in short period of time, and my esteogen levels dropping significntly (had a hormonal test done). The depo provera has been out of my system for 2-3 months now and my body is slowly recovering as my periods have come back (had two so far) and my breasts are regaining their normal form. I assume my estrogen levels are rising as my body recovers.

However, i am now having an issue of brownish discharge that smells very bad. When my periods came back in September, i had my first yeast infection ever. Went to my doctor and he gave me Monistat. It went away. Then a few weeks later I had a strong odor. My doctor said it was a bacterial infection and gave me medication to insert in my vagina. It went away. Then a few weeks later again another yeast infection, this time stronger than the last. My doctor gave me an oral medication. It went away. Now a few weeks later, in the presesnt time, now a brownish smelly discharge is happening! I am so confused as to why this is happening. Is it related to my recovering estrogen levels? What should I do to get rid of the odor? Will this keep happening? What can I do to return to normal without returning yeast infection/odors. Ive never had any issues with my vagina until i went on birth control. Im glad that stuff is out of my body, but now im having all sorts of issues. I noticed the browninsh smelly discharge a few days ago on the day of an estimated ovulation in my cycle. I am suppose to get my period in a few days. Please help. My doctor is oblivious :( i dont want to keep experiencing this odor its embarasing and huniliating.
