I was on the Depo Provera contraception injection for quite a number of years during which, after the first few months, my periods stopped completely. I came off it briefly but had such bad periods that my doctor put me back on it and I remained on it for another few years. During this time I had no periods at all.
I was advised to come off it when I reached 50 which was last summer. After that I had one period of about 4 days about 6 weeks after the injection would next have been due and another about 3 months after that which only lasted about 3 days. I've had nothing for the last 5 months.
My question is, how do I know if this lack of periods is just a continuation of the effects of the Depo, or is because of the menopause? Has anyone else been in the same situation please?
