Is it normal to miss your periods after the 1st depot shot? ive had no bleeding at all. my doctor said it would be the 2nd/3rd shot b4 this happened
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depo shot periods: The Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot tends to make periods "disappear" regardless if it is the 1st or 15th shot. The medication causes the lining of the womb(endometrium) to become very thin without much to shed for a period which helps to provide additional contraceptive protection by preventing implantation.
