Anything can potenti: Potentially cause a problem, but DPO should not 1 thing u need to check is a bone density after you have been on Depo-Provera for more than 2 yrs because in some people it could lead to some bone loss, I have pts that have been on Depo-Provera for yrs and have no bone loss, Depo-Provera may linger in your body for 6-9 months after stopping so u may not be able to get preg right away like after stopping the pill.
