Everyone who goes on Depo Provera has changes in her bleeding. Some women bleed more, others bleed less. In the first months of use, you may have bleeding or spotting that continues for days, weeks, or months. After the first year of use, some women don't bleed at all. For some women, periods stop much earlier. Because Depo Provera decreases the amount of lining that builds up in the uterus, there's no shedding of that lining (menstruation).

After stopping Depo Provera, your period may return right away, or it may take up to 18 months for it to return. The average is 11 months.
