What Causes Clear Discharge With Red Blood Streaks While On Depo?
I am on the depo shot and have had normal periods the whole 6months on it but now into my seventh monthe I have had clear discharge with bright red blood streaks in it but only when I wipe and it lasted for about 2-3 days. What could this mean?? Also my husband and I have unprotected sex because I m on the shot.

Hi,
Depo injection for long acting contraception has high dose Progesterone and hormone. This hormone has side effect of irregular periods, with profuse, scanty or no periods. This occurs off and on. Whatever type of menses you have, the contraception is continuous. Don't worry.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
