Is it normal after depotrust injectables no menstruation for a month?

Yes, it is normal for women to experience amenorrhea (absence of menstrual bleeding) during the first few months of using Depo-Provera, a brand of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), a hormonal contraceptive injection.

Depo-Provera works by preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus, and thinning the lining of the uterus. These effects make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg and for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.

Amenorrhea is a common side effect of Depo-Provera and is typically not a cause for concern. In fact, many women find amenorrhea to be a benefit of using this method of contraception. However, if you are concerned about your amenorrhea, you should talk to your doctor.

In some cases, amenorrhea can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. If you are experiencing other symptoms along with amenorrhea, such as hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness, you should talk to your doctor to rule out any other possible causes.
