A member asked:

Is having no menstrual period for a year after depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You should see your doctor and get some hormonal assistance to "jump start" your cycle, though. It is not good to have less than four periods a year.
