I had 2 shots of depoprovera injectables when i was 38 years old, and it caused my monthly period slowly stopped when i reach 41 years old. The doctor found 2 small functional cyst on my left and right ovary. My monthly period totally stopped. After 2 years, i was bleeding for 2 months and had DNC. I am 46 years old now. I want to know if the Depoprovera hold my monthly period or i am in menopause.

Yes it does. Just google "depo provera lawsuit" and look at the reviews on http://www.rateitall.com there is more than enough information out there about the dangers of this drug!
I was on this for four years and I'm so glad I'm OFF of it!
You might want to check with your doctor as it could just be signs of growing old.

Depo-Provera can do damage to a woman's body. The most common problem that can occur because of Depo-Provera is that of osteoporosis (got this information from the manufacturer, and friends who have tried it).
As for not having your period that could be related to menopause but I would recommend getting back in touch with your doctor to ask if they will check your hormone levels to see if they indicate the start of menopause.

because of your age it's hard to say but depo is very harmful in many ways. if you goodle the depo lawsuit you will find that this has happened to many people. i was going to go on the shot but wanted to find out a little more about it first and completely changed my mind.
all Birth Control carries side effects but this one isn't worth it!
