Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Mon 09, Mar 2009 06:48pm:

Majority of patients taking Depo-Provera find the side effects such as irregular menstruation and bloating unacceptable and do not continue with with the injections. If it has been more than a year since your last shot, have this evaluated further to rule out other causes such as infections, hormonal imbalance or problems with the uterus.
