I want to stop the depo-provera shot due to weight gainhow long will the progesterone last in me?

3+ months: As you know, you are supposed to get depo-provera shots every 3 months. However, the effect of the medication will last longer and typically takes 4-6 months after the last injection for your body to completely clear the drug.
