I'm 49 years old, have been on depo-provera since 7/8/14 (to stop ovarian cysts from forming) and was tested for ovarian cancer on 5/27, the day before my 49th b-day. Luckily, no cancer, but the depo shot I am truly wondering about. First shot in July 2014 was okay and periods slowed down. Took 2nd shot Oct 3rd and no period until 11/22-I am now on day 12 of current cycle (no sign of stopping) and wonder if I need to chat w/gyno about possibility of having hysterectomy. Have been periomenipausal for 4 years and this is ruining sleep, health and my career...your thoughts?
