Thank you for asking!
The reason your doctor did not give you any medicine because he is right. Depo provera does that and there is nothing you can do about it it is innocuous unless used for chonic as that increase the odds for malignancy.If it bothers you try some other contraceptive techniques. Depo will keep doing it .
Take care
