Trying To Concieve, Injection, Brown Smelly Discharge. Suggestions?
Hello, I recently had the contraception injection and my doctor told me I would be safe to have sex straight away. I had the injection on a tuesday and had sex on the thursday. I have been fine with no adverse affects from the injection and have had it before with no problems. My injection is due again on the 19th June. About a week and a half ago i started to bleed a little. I was also having a brown smelly discharge . On saturday I bled after sex and when I sat on the toilet I lost a large clot of blood . I am still experiencing the brown smelly discharge and still bleeding slightly. Please help.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mild irregular bleeding is commonly seen in this type of contraception but having a foul smelling blood is worrisome. It can happen due to a bacterial vaginal infection which needs to be examined and needs systemic antibiotics for cure.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
