No, they are two different things, though I think that the provera part probably refers to the same thing, progesterone. Depo provera is a type of birth control; I'm not sure what the "depo" stands for. Provera is, basically, progesterone, and is taken for fewer days to bring on AF. I recently took Provera and my doctor described it to me as basically taking the second half of a birth control pill cycle. After you take the last pill, you get AF a few days later.
Hope that helps.
