A member asked:

Should i have bilateral ovarian follicles while on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Even though Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) prevents ovulation, your ovaries will still produce follicles that can be seen on u/s. But these follicles will not release an egg.
