Brief Answer:
FSH level of 5 is not menopausal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Usually after stopping depo Provera one gets their period within a year.

How were your periods like before taking depo injection ?

FHS level of 5 is not menopausal level. You need to be investigated further ( hormone test, ultrasound and karyotyping) to find out why you do not have periods.

After thorough assessment only one will be able to tell whether you can get pregnant.

If you have further queries, do write to me.
Best wishes
Dr Rama
