Re: Methatrexate shot

Well, actually I had the shot 3 days ago, and the very next day I began
to lightly spot, not enough to see except for when I went to the
bathroom. I had only stopped bleeding for one day when I had the shot.
Now I am still slightly spotting, but I am passing a very dark
discharge, the discharge is barely noticeable, also only when I go to
the bathroom. I assume that is not what I will be looking for and the
bleeding will be more apparent? Sorry for all the questions, I
appreciate your help.
