What Causes Clotted Menstruation With Mucus Despite Taking A Depo Provera Shot?

I have Endometriosis and had a lot of pain today. I recently got the depo provera shot and I m still in pain. I got a menstrual period but today I was in pain and discovered a large blood clot with muscus, should I be concern? After the blood clot came out, the pain was not as bad.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand it.
Depot provera is known to cause irregular & changed bleeding patterns .. specially so in early days of starting the injection. After few months of being on depot, the bleeding decreases, gets scantier.. may cause absence of menses.
* The pain & bleeding with clot you had,was due to side effect of the depot injection. pain increased while the clot was passed out.IT can be managed by pills like Dysmen forte/ any pain medicine over the counter.
* Endometriosis is characterised by painful menstruation.. But depot provera is known to decrease endometriosis symptoms by discouraging endometrial development... thus relieving pain.
Thanks.
