Hi, I ve been on the depo-provera shot for a year now and afte. Three shots it made my period go away which I know is normal. But my discharge is a little mucus looking. Am I ovulating (which I don t think I can on the shot) or is it just cervical mucus?

Vaginal discharge when on Depo-Provera can be due to reproductive tract infection. I suggest you to consult your gynecologist for clinical assessment, vaginal swab culture and thus management.

Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that these discharge changes are related to the Depo-Provera effects on the uterus. There is no reason to worry about ovulation, as it is not going to occur.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
