ANSWER from experts
Any type of hormonal contraception has the effect on women health because all hormonal contraception methods have several side effects.
Depo Provera injections are used every 3 months and they work during following 12-13 weeks. It means during 12-13 weeks
Depo Provera contain high doses of progesterone which stops the ovaries from releasing eggs. Depo Provera causes the cervical mucus to thicken and changes the uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to enter or survive in the uterus. These changes prevent fertilization and pregnancy.
Women who want to become pregnant could stop using Depo Provera at any time. For some women, fertility returns immediately after 12 week after last injection. For others, it could take 6-18 months or longer (after last depo Provera injection) for the body's hormonal cycle to return to normal.
