General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Experiencing intermittent cramps and occasional discharges which could be brownish in colour or spotting can happen while you are on birth control pills or depo shots. Such symptoms are usually seen in the first few weeks following the shots.
All you need is reassurance and take symptomatic treatment to overcome such symptoms.
However, in case these symptoms start occurring frequently or becomes bothersome, you need to seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
