I understand your concern
Depo provera contain progesterone and help to relieve the bleeding.
It promote the growth of the endometrium and reduce the bleeding.
It should use every week for 6-8 week.
If it will help then does should be maintain one injection every month.
It cause side effects like abdominal pain, nausea, weakness, dizziness, headache, breast pain, bloating.
So take it to stop the bleeding under the advise of the gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
