Coming off of depo... is this right???

ok so i was due up for a shot btwn. april 15- may 1.... i didnt want it again... cause once again i gained weight... i only did it cause when trying to get the iud i was in too much pain and they couldnt procede with it... not long after i was due up for a shot i had the brownish discharge... i figured i was trying to start... then i never did... but i had period like cramps for quite a while... now im having the discharge again... is this normal.. i cant remember cause it was so long ago that i had been on it last... my husband and i rarely have sex (not a happy marriage for the last year or so)... and he pulls out anyway... why havent i actually started yet?

3 weeks ago
i had been on the shot for 1 year... a few years ago... got off of it for a long time... 3-4 yrs... then got one shot in january.... i had only one injection this last time... (just wanted to clear any ?'s up)

What birth control such as the shot or the pill does is it shuts off your body and takes over on auto pilot. So, when you are coming off the pill or the shot it takes a while for your period to start up again and especially take a normal frequency. Some women it takes years, depending on how long you were on the birth control and how high the hormone levels were in the shot. You are probably not pregnant, it's just that your body is trying to restart itself. Give it time. If you are really concerned see your gyne.
