: At first, you should check with your doctor if the last depo provera injection was from a different pharmaceutical company. Generic medications vary a lot in the effects. No period is rather a side effect, i.e. not an intended effect of depot provera. Pelvic cramp with menses and mild mastalgia are commonly seen with depot provera. Take care.
