On Depo, Spotting Bright Red Mucus Like, Feeling Dizzy, Nausea, Bloated, Tired, Body Sore. What Is This ?
I have been on depo for 3 1/2 years. My boyfriend a certified medical assistant gave me my last shot. I have only spotted maybe 6 times since being on depo. I spotted the other week and that didnt bother me. Now I am spotting again but its a bright red and looks like mucus is in it. I have been feeling dizzy, nasueas (threw up soup friday and couldnt stand the smell), tired, bloated, constipated, and my body has been feeling sore. What could this be?

Hello!
These all symptoms are the side effects of depo-provera.
Reduction in bone minerals is been reported,after 2-3 years of using this ,and for this reason you should use foods enrich with Ca (or supplements of Ca and vit.D)
To rule out any infection you should do a vaginal smear or PAP smear (if you have not do within one year)
Take care of your self
