Does Being Off Depo Provera Cause Irregular And Delayed Periods?
I have been off Depo-Provera for 5 months now. I got my first period right away in Oct. it lasted 2 weeks. In November and December i had no period even though i did spot for two days each month. January i got my period on its expected day and it lasted two weeks. February it also came when expected but lasted like a normal period for only 7 days. This month, March, i havent had a period at all or any spotting. Is this normal for depo or could I be pregnant ? It would be too soon too test because i would not be ovulating when expected. has anyone else experienced missing there period after depo once it appeared to return to normal.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It can take a few months for the period to return to normal after discontinuation of depo provera in some persons.
It is also possible that you are pregnant if you are not using any other form of contraception.
Pregnancy tests can detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after conception. When this time frame has passed you can do a test.
I hope this helps
