A member asked:

Hi was wondering if it was normal to miss a period right away being on your first depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot..thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) thins out your lining so definitely normal for this to occur. Some women have no period the entire time they are on the depot.
