A doctor has provided 1 answer

DEPO: The effects of Depo-Provera can persists for some months after even one injection. Menstruation may not recur until the effects wear offf, and it vaties from person to person. The pill can also cause menses not to occur. It is not harmful. Menstrual symptoms can still occur.
