Do you need to worry about pregnancy while on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) if you get all shots on time and no more period?

Depo works: Depoprovera failures are very rare. It is a very effective method. If you are concerned then take a simple test available at any pharmacy. No reason to stress out. Check a test and you will have your answer in minutes. It is normal to not have a period while on depo.
