A member asked:

Im on the depo-provera shot and haven't had a period in almost 4 months. i have occasional intercourse, but what happened to my period? should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

amenorrhea: One of the potential side effects of Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is that your period will stop or become very light. Its a normal and non harmful side effect. However, just to be safe i would do a pregnancy test as Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is only 95% effective.
