A member asked:

I took first shot depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) on first day of period how long will period last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to predict: Long acting continuous progestin contraception such as depoprovera commonly have irregular bleeding as a side effect. So you could have a normal period or prolonged irregular bleeding. Women who have been on Depo-Provera for a while often have no bleeding at all!
