Came Off Depo Injection, Had Irregular Periods. Had Brown Discharge And Bleeding With Urination. Advise?

Hi,
I am 32 and came off the Depo injection a year ago. I had the injection for approx 2 years. I have had iregular periods. Recently I experienced two weeks of brown discharge followed by a period. My period only came out during urination. Since beginning my periods at the age of 12, they have always been irregular, I have very litte pain and I frequently experienced a brown discharge.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
Your symptoms suggest hormonal imbalance. If you are anxious to conceive you should get a complete hormonal profile, trans-vaginal sonogram and tubal patency test. Your hormonal status must be restored to normal and ovulation established. Maintenance of a healthy weight, some regular exercise and a healthy diet help in regularizing the cycles. Right now, you would need hormonal supplementation to stop the spotting if it recurs again. Hope your query has been answered. Take care.

Hello
As you came off the depo inj a year ago,there should not be menstrual irregularties due to that. If you have always had irregular cycles,its probably due to underlying hormonal imbalance.You need to undergo further tests to figure out what the cause of the menstrual irregularities is.

Hello
The irregular cycles are more likely to be due to hormonal imbalance which you apparently had since menarche. You should be investigated thoroughly to determine why this is happening. Blood tests will be required. Depo inj is not causing this since you came off it a year ago.
