How does Depo provera work?

This is my first month on depo provera and i have not started my period even though its time. Do your periods stop as soon as you get the shot?

You will bleed irregularly for the first few months, most likely.  However, since you started very recently, you should take a pregnancy test just to be certain you're not pregnant.
