Expect some bleeding: Initially patients usually experience irregular vaginal bleeding after receiving Depo-Provera. However, in most cases, the bleeding resolves and periods stop. Make sure you review these and other possibilities with your physician before you decide to get the injection.

Usually not: If this is your first Depo-Provera shot, sometimes you may get period. But because it is progesterone and no fluctuation in the level like one yo see during normal cycle, you do not get period for 3 months. If you are beyond 3 months and did not get your another dose of Depo-Provera prover shot, then also you get withdrawal period
