Normal depo effect: Irregular periods are the norm on depoprovera. Many patients have no periods at all. Others will experience irregular menstrual bleeding. This is how Depo-Provera works. If you are not satisfied with the bleeding pattern on Depo-Provera then consider using a different birth control method. Aplastic anemia needs to be evaluated by a specialist.

Dysmenorrhea: You really should get in to see your obstetrician and/or rheumatologist sooner than later. Especially need to be seen with some blood work evaluation.
