Why Does The Period Blood Looks Slimy After Getting A Depo Shot?
so I get the depo shot to get rid of my period, ive gotten the shot twice now. my last shot was around the end of may or beginning of June, and today I got my period. and I have a feeling itll be gone in a day and I m not worried that i got it, what I m worried about is the way my blood looks. in my underwear my blood wasn t just normal blood or clotted or anything, it was like a paste. i dont know any better words to describe it. I just don t know if I should be worried or not

Hello,
The discharge you noticed is blood mixed with thick mucus. Depo shots are expected to thicken mucus. This is completely normal and nothing to be worried about.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
