Hi there
This is definitely a question you want to ask your doctor who knows your history.
Here is information about the Depo-Provera shot from Planned Parenthood.
I am not finding anything in the literature which says it is harmful to switch from birth control pills to this shot. But you should discuss your concerns with your doctor nonetheless.
Thank you for your question.
