Depoprovera injections contain hormones that can temporarily change your natural hormone levels. The hormone lasts 3 months and the effects can last up to 6 months. Talk to your regular Dr about other changes that your body has undergone in this time (wieght gain, diabetes, etc) to determine how to proceed. They may choose to use balancing hormones (estrogen based) or anti-androgens.
