Fine to stop: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) lasts in the body up to 6 months so likely after the third pack of bcp you can stop the pill and have normal cycles again. After you stop bcp i recommend 2 periods not brought on by the pill, and then you can start attempting pregnancy.

Maybe: You should talk to doctor. Is there a family history of clotting disorders? Where is your leg pain, is it localized or your entire leg?
