Yes, the Depo Provera stops your period.

This is a hormonal Birth Control so suppresses your menstrual cycles so that you don't ovulate, thus you don't menstruate, but unlike options such as the combination pill there's no withdrawal bleed either. With that said do bare in mind that menstruation is a positive thing and suppressing menstrual cycles as well as any bleed increases health risks, also a common side effect of this birth control method is irregular bleeding during use and irregular cycles for up to a year once you stop.

Some women won't have withdrawal bleeding after they've been on the pill for a while. Some women will see their period stop early when they first start the pill, but others might notice the first period is prolonged. It's unpredictable.
No, they don't so I don't recommend to try to tak pills to stop your period. no, but they can reduce the pain from the menstrual cramps.

Taking a birth control pill will not stop you from getting your period. It might make your periods shorter and lighter.
