Depoprovera: Side effects of depoprovera are:
headaches, weight gain, dizziness, abdominal pain and anxiety (although all these are uncommon: less than 2-3 % chances) most common side effects are abnormal bleeding, temporary decreased in bone density and weight gain. Effects of depoprovera can dissapear after 6-8 months of last dose.

Possible: Any time you have unprotected sex, you can become pregnant. It would be good to do a pregnancy test in 2 weeks if no period before then.

Bleeding for two months with pain, dizziness, cramping places you at risk for significant anemia and suggests dysfunctional bleeding. You do need immediate medical attention. As you have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, your bleeding is of even greater concern. Please get medical care right away.
