A member asked:
Hi there, i was on the depo-provera injection for around 8 years and i recently stopped as i wasnt to have a baby. i have no periods ?

Depo: Depo can have a prolonged effect after discontinuation. If you recently stopped, you may not have a return to ovulation and menses for 6+ months. As always, if you are concerned discuss with your physician, but i would give it some time.
