There's no definitive age for the Menopause, you are at risk of pregnancy, for as long as you're still Ovulating. Your Doctor or Gynaecologist, will be able to give you the most appropriate advice.

Doctors/Health care providers tend to wish to wait until your at least 16 years of age before they provide you with depo provera. This is because it is known to make bones weaker and can result in brittle bone disease if used for many years. Teenagers are still developing and therefore its risky to provide this method of contraception at the risk of affecting bone/muscle development.

There are other methods such as the "implant" that last from 2 and a half to 3 years long. As soon as it is removed your full fertility returns. This isn't the case with the depo shot. It can take years with the depo shot for your fertility to come back to normal.

Yes, you can stop Depo Provera by not returning for the next injection. If you still want to avoid pregnancy, be sure to choose another effective method.
