What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking DEPO Shot?
Hi, I m 18 yrs old & have have the DEPO shot about 2 months ago. It was my first time and up until now I ve had no periods or anything. For a week now I ve had brown discharge. Is this normal? I have no pains or anything. I heard its just because of hormones.. My next appointment is within a couple weeks but I would just like to make sure.

Hi,
I think that it is a normal phenomenon to have. delayed periods after using Depo shot, but still I would suggest a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Also, a thyroid profile test is required as hormonal irregularities can lead to these symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
