What Causes Vaginal Discharge While Being On Depo Provera Shot?

im on the Depo Provera shot and I am having discharge to what looks to be a mucus plug like when before you have a baby I ve been checked for STDs within the last month and as far as I know I am NOT pregnant I dunno if I can give you morning sickness time as if you were pregnant from the hormone but I didn t think I could give you a discharge that looks like a mucus plug I am just wondering if I should look into this further if I am pregnant or not

Hi, I have gone through your question. The mucus plug like discharge you are having while being on Depo provera is a common side effect. Depo provera contains progesterone which thickens the cervical mucus and it appears like mucus plug. Also it causes dizziness in few women. I would suggest you not to worry about these complains and look further into this matter if you miss your period, or these complains increase in intensity.
Hope this answers your question.
Wishing you good health.
