Depends what for: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is great to help prevent uterine cancer and hyperplasia. However, it will not regulate your cycles and may take longer for you to get pregnant once you stop the injections. It cause also causes weight gain which is often a problem in women with pcos.
