According to Pfizer.com: "Depo-Provera can affect menstrual bleeding. After a year of use, 55% of women experience amenorrhoea; after 2 years, the rate rises to 68%."
Depending on how your body works it can..I bleed for a whole month after getting the shot,but haven't had a period since. I started mines in September 2011 haven't had it since October. .

How do you stop your next menstrution cycle?

A healthy girl/woman should NOT STOP her menstrution cycle, In clinic's and doctor's office's they offer a DEPO shot that WILL stop your menstrution cycle, & also release a certain amount of hormone's into your body to PREVENT you from getting PREGNANT, but keep in mind there will be some spotting. I believe you only get your period every couple of months. I am not completely sure so research DEPO SHOT on google.com if you are a young girl/woman and your NOT having sex there is no reason for you to stop your menstrution cycle & a healthy woman does not stop having her period until she hit's menopause so tampon's, pad's -- whichever your preference will be your friend for quite sometime :)
