A member asked:
Does depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) birth control really take 12 months to get out system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe longer: After 2 yr, about 70% of Depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) users have amenorrhea. Because it has a long duration of action, ovulation may be delayed for up to 18 mo after the last injection. After ovulation occurs, fertility is usually rapidly restored.
