A member asked:

I have been using the depo-provera shot for the last 7 months and i haven't had a period sinced a month after i started it. is this normal or safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: They should have explained this to you when you started the depo. It can cause osteoporosis if used more than 2 years, depression in those prone to it, and it may take 5-12 months for normal cycles to resume when you stop so pregnancy can be delayed when you go off of it.
