Health Canada's public advisory states, "The data indicate that women who use Depo-Provera may lose significant bone mineral density. The longer Depo-Provera is used, the more bone mineral density may be lost. Bone mineral density may not return completely once use of Depo-Provera has been discontinued."

If you use Depo-Provera, it may help your bones if you take regular weight-bearing exercise and have a healthy diet, including an adequate intake of calcium (e.g. in dairy products) and vitamin D (e.g. in oily fish).
