Hello,
As per your symptoms, it appears as though you are shedding endometrium as casts. This can happen in endometriosis and also if you have any infection leading to endometritis. The pain also is likely to be related to the disease process. Also, if you have not taken your due course of the depo shot, it is possible to add to the bleeding as there would be withdrawal effect of the hormone. Please see your consultant for a proper appraisal of the situation and get further management. Hope this helps.
