What are the negative side effects of the depo-provera prevera shot and what does it do to the body to stop pregnancy?

Multiple...: Side effects are multiple but the most common ones are irregular periods or none at all, weight gain, loss of bone mass, depression, headaches, swelling, among others. It acts by preventing ovulation and changing the uterus tissue in order to prevent pregnancy to happen.
