A member asked:
I have been on depo-provera for 5 years and have been off the shot for 7 months can it cause a hormonal imbalance? i have my period every other week.

Common: Unfortunately the longer you are on Depo-Provera the longer it lasts in your body. Even after stopping it, the effects can last up to 1.5 to 2 years. That is not surprising. Your doctor can put you on other meds until the effects are all gone if you like.
