Greetings, thank you for your question.

The answer is a general description of the problem you’re having. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to speak with us.

For your information, Depo-Provera® injector injections may have the following effects:

• Irregular periods - longer or shorter periods, heavier or lighter periods
• Menstrual cycles (the longer you get Depo-Provera® injections, the more likely you are to have no menstruation at all)
• Weight gain (women gain about 5 pounds per year for the first 3 years). But you can help maintain your weight by eating healthy foods and exercising regularly.
• Headache
• Mood changes, depression
• Bloating
• Abdominal pain / discomfort

Thus, we can take it that menstruation does not come as a side effect of the injection. If you feel uncomfortable with this injection, you can opt for other family planning options that also have a high percentage of effectiveness. Therefore, it is highly advisable to talk to your doctor about the best method available such as contraceptive pills or IUD.
