Is Brown Discharge With Cramps Normal Post Deposit Shot?

Hi. I m 34 with two children. I ve been on depo for about a year. The first few months I had spotting, but eventually it went away. For the past week, I ve had cramping on my left side. Twice yesterday and once today I had a slight brown discharge. Is this normal?

Hi, I think it is a common side effect of depo shot to have some discharge. But if cramps are associated with discharge, there is a chance of some infections also. Get yourself examined by a gynecologist.
