A member asked:

On my second shot of depo-provera provera, (medroxyprogesterone) i have normal irregular bleeding, but is there anything that i can do to suppress it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: You could take additional hormones but that would pretty much defeat the purpose of using Depo-Provera in the first place. This problem should become less and less frequent the longer you are on depo.
