Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Depo provera injection is a progesterone contraceptive. It has the side effect of irregular or no periods at all due to its hormonal effect.
However, the periods do resume with 3-4 months of stopping the drug and it does not generally affect the future fertility.
If your ultrasound shows no follicle, it means thereis anovulation, which can be due to ddisturbances of several hormonal changes.
I would suggest you to consult an infertility specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
