Question

Hi my problem is my 3 monthly injection I have been on it for 6 months now and everytime half way through the monthly injection I get this discharge were I have to change my underpants up to 3 times a day and I use fem fresh as it stinks in my private area and I never had this prior to getting the injection.

Does anyone else get this injection and get the same problems?

Thanks again!

Answer 1

Hi

I get a slight discharge during the mid- end of my 3months, but it does not smell, but it is annoying my nurse who gives me the jab says she thinks it is normal for women to have discharge around their period time so i am assuming it is that!

Hope this helps?

Yep - when it first came to the market (god that makes me feel old now)  I was on it and had the same mucous discharge you are talking about. I spoke to my Gynac about it and he said that it was normal and some woman get it and some don't. Just as somem women still get thier periods, some even bleed for the whole time on the injection.

I went to the chemist and got an over the counter thrush treatment to count that out for piece of mind. Use thin Liners rather than changing your underwear and wear cotton underwear. Fem Fresh and such products mask the odour and actually contribute to bacteria if it is already present. Don't use soap, use soap free products such as that Q for sensitive skin or alike if you can. Sap-o-derm is also a good one for that area.

Also you might need to see if other medication you are on could be increasing mucous production. So Probably still a good idea to discuss it with your doctor....

No, I didn't. Do you still get your period? It could be a light form of your period, since you probably are not having them. When you go to get your next shot, ask about it. Good luck.
